For some years now, organizations have been interested in developing image recognition, shape recognition, understanding of natural language -that studies the interactions between computers and human language- among others, in order to improve th

Data fundamentals on AWS: Data Pipelines

As our world becomes more and more data-oriented, we need good conceptual frameworks for communicating our ideas and for making the best design decisions. On one hand, this blog post describes a mental model of a data processing pipeline with two main goals: to establish common language and concepts and to help us to design data pipeline architectures following the best practices. From a practical standpoint, this framework will guide you in designing and evaluating any data

Hitting Github API REST with the Linux console

The very first step to hit any API REST is to read the documentation because every API is a world. While some of them are very intuitive, others require a lot of time on thinking about how to make every single call due to the resource's format required. The Github API REST has calls requiring a very specific format of input parameters. Might be in the header, in the URL's path, as URL GET parameters, or inside a JSON formatted body. But this is not all, because the answer wil

Again that mail about the need of rotating the Github Tokens of your pipelines?

“CodeStar Connect” will release you of that pain. Everybody knows the inconvenience of working with secrets like Tokens or Webhooks: You need to create them, save them in the Parameter Store to avoid leakage, and rotate them every couple of months. But now, using CodeStar connections and the Github App on AWS you are completely free of them! Creating this connection is as simple as you can see in this link; however, in Terraform you will find that it’s as easy as in the AWS M
