After thinking, days and months finally I wanted to pen my thoughts here in my very own way about this topic.. So why am I writting blogs on my own, even in AI Era? The short answer is, I like stock, native, raw, straight, natural, more'ly human, less'ly contents, highly knowledge and personally preferable blog. The long answer is, ✓ I like to share my knowledge, I repeat ' my knowledge '.  ✓ If I go with AI it's like sharing 1000's of other people knowledge, why should I even share other's, when I am learning many and have lot to share. ✓ I am not writing contents to attract the readers or audience, I write to my experience as a logs, assuming myself, it may benefit others at some point, not immediately today. ✓ Everyone will have their own opinions, styles and choice of saying things, I had my own which I sure, AI can't mimic today. ✓ Everybody can creates contents just like that with AI, but not everyone can produce the knowledge you poss...

Did you know about Amazon SageMaker Studio❓ 🤔 Like you, I initially believed that this service was only for data-related tasks and that regular engineers/developers weren't supposed to use it. ✒️ However, after using it for a while, I would suggest that it can help you with more than just data related tasks. In fact, an organization can use SageMaker Studio to bring their entire SDLC 💪. 😬 Because of its data'ish ness like gimick we (normal non-data developers) always felt, "Oh, SageMaker, it's expensive 😱 so no, no don't go that side 🤐." 😷 As a result, we shrank and missed the hidden gem 💎 and its possibilities, as well as the opportunity to utilize such a fantastic and powerful tool 🔥. ✒️ Let me give you some glimpse with a preview of what SageMaker Studio is capable of. ✒️ SageMaker is big service, but in this post am limiting my context towards SageMaker Studio only. ✒️ And mostly, this write-up is for developers who enjoy writin...

A Conversation between Simba 🐯 & Mufasa 🦁  about AI (Artificial Intelligence) Simba: Dad, have you heard about this thing called AI? Mufasa: Yes, my son. It’s a tool that can help us in many ways. Simba: But what if it takes over everything? What if one day, all the animals in the Pride Lands start asking AI to do their jobs? Mufasa: Simba, remember that while AI can assist us, it cannot replace the heart and spirit of the Circle of Life. Simba: So, you’re saying I shouldn’t worry? Mufasa: Exactly. Embrace AI as a friend, not a foe. It can help you hunt for ideas, but it can’t replace your instincts or your roar! Simba: So, I can still be the king, even with AI around? Mufasa: Of course! Just remember, the true strength of a king lies in his ability to adapt and grow, not just in what tools he uses. Simba: Thanks, Dad! I guess I’ll just have to learn to work with AI instead of worrying about it! Mufasa: That’s the spirit, my son. Now, let’s go find some lunch—AI can’t help ...

Are you writing Python or Node.js code to do Automation or Pull Reports or Inventory in AWS? 💯 If yes, this post is for you and probably you may end up like this read and learn something new today. 🚨 Spoiler Alert 😅:- Am going to talk about AWS Step Functions. ⭐ Yes, with recent advances rolled out in step functions, we can do lot more than, what we thought it does and what we are doing with it. 🧐 Previously we would have used step functions for cases like :- ✍️Lambda can't run beyond 15 mins, so if we want more wait time for some task, we used to call step functions and wait there and re-trigger lambda to process same event. ✍️To call multiple lambda in sequence or parallel, we would have used it. 🖇️Basically what we do is, always we keep our core logic in lambda and just used step functions for so called "orchestration" to call lambda in different patterns. If you agree with me, then below are some real time use cases, you can try and unleash the real p...

AWS Step Functions Supports Variables and JSONata Step Functions - Yes, that orchestrator or workflow service in AWS used to be used primarily to call lambda functions in various formats or orders, but in recent years, it has become more and more popular due to its support for nearly all of the key AWS SDK integrations. 🌟 In fact, some things, no no many things can be done only by using step functions without even having a lambda functions or needing to write python or node.js code. 😫 But while writing step functions as an developer, Obviously you and me, for sure come across this situation of writing extra, extra steps to do simple manipulation of data in input or result and pass through to other steps. 😀 Now you don't need to do that, anymore.
