AWS and languages

Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a wide range of services and tools, many of which are built using Java. Java is one of the primary programming languages used at AWS for developing various components.

AWS is a platform that provides cloud services for organizations of all sizes. In particular, AWS uses Java to provide the platform’s core functionality, such as computing and storage. Java is a popular programming language that allows developers to create software applications. Furthermore, AWS also uses other languages, such as Python and Ruby, to provide specific features

How is Java used in AWS applications?

A huge number of open-source big data offerings are written using the Java programming language. It’s massively popular with AWS customers and cloud specialists because it’s just so easy to write, compile, debug and learn. Using Java, developers can create both modular programs and reusable code meaning you can deploy your existing Java codes using applications like AWS Elastic Beanstalk. Definitely check out AWS Lambda as well. 

AWS SDK for Java 

AWS SDK massively simpliļ¬es the use of AWS Services, which include Java applications that work with Amazon S3, Amazon EC2 and Amazon SimpleDB, among many others. AWS SDK does this by providing a set of libraries that are consistent and well-known for Java developers. It’s also useful when it comes to API lifecycle consideration, in particular for credential management, data marshaling, serialization, and retries. What’s more, the AWS SDK for Java also helps with simplified development by supporting higher–level abstractions. AWS recently completed a major rewrite of the original SDK for Java 1.x code to add shiny new features that had been frequently requested within the AWS ecosystem. So, if you’re just starting out with AWS SDK for Java, make sure that you use the SDK for Java 2.x version. 

AWS SDK for JavaScript 

While Java ensures that all the cogs are working on the back end, JavaScript is all about creating that nicely packaged, shiny front-of-house that end users see. It works in the same way as SDK for Java, meaning that AWS SDK for JavaScript works with three runtimes: JavaScript for a browser, React Native for mobile development, and Node.js for the server. It supports cross-runtime which means that you can run a package on various browsers, React-Native, and even Node.js without having to change the code. 

 

Here are some AWS services and tools that utilize Java:


1. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2): The core infrastructure service of AWS, EC2, uses Java extensively for managing virtual machine instances.


2. Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS): ECS, which manages Docker containers, has components developed in Java.


3. AWS Lambda: AWS Lambda allows you to run code in response to events. It supports Java as one of its runtime environments.


4. Amazon DynamoDB: The Java SDK for DynamoDB allows developers to interact with this managed NoSQL database service.


5. Amazon RDS: Java can be used to connect and interact with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) instances, which provide managed relational databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and others.


6. Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS): SQS is a fully managed message queuing service, and Java can be used to work with it using the AWS SDK.


7. Amazon S3: Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) can be interacted with using Java SDKs for storage and retrieval of objects.


8. Amazon CloudWatch: CloudWatch, the AWS monitoring and observability service, has a Java SDK for programmatically interacting with it.


9. AWS SDK for Java: AWS provides an SDK for Java that allows you to access a wide range of AWS services programmatically.


10. Amazon Elasticsearch Service: The AWS service for Elasticsearch supports Java clients for indexing and searching data.


11. Amazon Kinesis: Kinesis, which enables real-time data streaming, has Java libraries for data processing.


12. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM): IAM, the service for managing access control in AWS, has Java SDKs for programmatic management of permissions.


These are just a few examples, and many other AWS services and components utilize Java in their development. AWS supports multiple programming languages to cater to the diverse needs of developers, but Java is one of the commonly used languages due to its versatility and strong presence in enterprise and server-side development.

Micro Front and ui frameworks

 To mix technologies in a micro front-end architecture, where different parts of the application use different frameworks or libraries, there are several ways to approach this, and the technologies you mentioned—Astro, Nuxt, Next, and Vite—can play a role. Here's how you can mix them, along with new approaches to micro front-end architecture:  Micro Front-End Architecture Overview Micro front-ends involve breaking a frontend application into smaller, independent pieces (micro-apps), where each micro-app can be developed, deployed, and maintained separately. These micro-apps can use different technologies (React, Angular, Vue, etc.) and are usually stitched together by a wrapper or container that manages the composition and communication between them.  Approaches to Micro Front-Ends with Modern Tech  1. Module Federation (Webpack 5)    - How it works: Module Federation allows multiple independent builds to dynamically share code. You can create different mic...

Pause the Bossy

 Always when comes in a tech industry, people put a show off with terminologies, hypes, jargon etc. Think if an eco system, where everything works honestly and just, no need of even talking "diplomatic", or no show offs. The right person must be served just-fully.  They must get the remuneration in the standard, and those who are in the same category must not feel the regret or jealous in the same section unless for a knowledge gap. So basically, when we create such a society where equal rights, and equal privileges prevail, there wont be any ego, and the community grows progressively. If someone possess a bossy culture, if the management can't stop, it will harm the team, even the persons in actual life.

Pain Points in Development

        When finding a solution to a real world problem, if it involves a software component, definitely starts a "pain" to the developers. The environment configuration, as is to the tech solution, then the logic, optimization, unit testing, integration, business verification, deployment in stage and prod, after all the actual scenarios  where mostly all the stake holders missed something. But at the end, the whole blame comes to the one who "codes" it. Yes, the pain of being a software engineer is not so easy especially in development. Apart from mental stress, on calls, after all the physique posture problems, long lasting health issue... But still its a passion :)
