Notes

When Amazon Data Firehose uses a Lambda for transformation, high data volume can exceed the AWS Lambda concurrent execution limit, causing processing delays. The most effective solution is to increase Firehose’s buffer size to reduce the number of Lambda invocations.

CloudFront has an undocumented burst limit on invalidation requests that can cause “Rate exceeded” errors even under normal usage.

Docker SSH mounts allow you to securely use your local SSH agent during docker build, for example to install private Git dependencies via SSH, without baking any keys into your image.

Quickly connect to PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MongoDB and Redis databases using Docker with simple, one-line commands, bypassing the need for local installations.

Amazon ECS Exec lets you securely interact with your running ECS containers (get a shell or run single commands) using SSM Session Manager.

Crypteia is an AWS Lambda extension for any runtime to preload SSM Parameters as secure environment variables at function startup.

iamlive can automatically generate least privilege IAM policies based on the permissions used during Terraform execution.

Legacy CloudFront Standard Logs (a.k.a access logs) are based on W3C Extended Log File format. These logs can be parsed into JSON format using a Python script.

GitHub API limits unauthenticated requests to 60 per hour per IP. By using a personal access token, you can increase this limit to 5,000 requests per hour.

svu is a lightweight CLI tool that generates semantic versions based on your Git log and follows Conventional Commits. It is the perfect companion for GoReleaser.
