A Quick First Look at Amazon Bedrock (with Node.js) / / No Comments My regular readers (hello, yall rock!) know I’ve been playing with generative AI the past few months. I’m still a bit skeptical about the amount of hype involved around the space, but I’m slowly getting more excited as I see some of the interesting possibilities available with these tools. Most of my recent exploration has been on the Google Gemini side, but after hearing my buddy Todd Sharp talk about Amazon Bedrock on his stream yesterday, I figured it was time to check it out. (FYI, you should absolutely check out his weekly Twitch show on the AWS Twitch channel called "Streaming on Streaming" – Wednesdays at 3PM CST.) Getting Started # So obviously, you want... more → Posted in: JavaScript Tagged with: Amazon, Bedrock, first, Look, Node.js, Quick
Quick example using AWS Node.js SDK V3 for Signed URLs / / No Comments This probably falls into the "it was easy for everyone else in the world but me" bucket, but I really struggled to find good search results for this and figured I’d better write it down so when I google for it again in a few months, I’ll find my own blog. Specifically – today I was trying to use the AWS Node.js SDK to generate signed URLs. One to create read-only access to a bucket item and another to allow uploading. Everything I’m sharing is covered in the docs, but I struggled to find the relevant parts. So first off, V3 of the SDK is modularized, so instead of installing a giant SDK, you get just what you need. A lot of the demos show S3 so that’s handy.... more → Posted in: JavaScript Tagged with: example, Node.js, Quick, Signed, URLs, using
Quick Test Post – Sorry! / / No Comments Hey folks, earlier this week I posted about a Pipedream workflow to automatically post new blog entries to Mastodon and Twitter. I discovered an issue with the workflow that ended up being a bug on the Pipedream side. (It happens!) They’ve corrected the issue and I need to test, so I’ve temporarily disabled Mastodon posting and am writing this post just to see if it posts correctly to Twitter. If so, I’ll then restore the Mastodon step (Pipedream makes it easy to disable one part of a workflow) and see what happens when I post again. As I feel guilty "spamming" my subscribers with noise, here’s a quick tip. If you ever need to expose a local web site for external... more → Posted in: JavaScript Tagged with: Post, Quick, Sorry, test
Quick LiquidJS + Eleventy Example – All Posts / / No Comments So, on a whim today I decided to add a page to my blog to display every single post, separated by year. This was not meant to be used by anyone (hence me not linking to it in the nav), but something I’ve wanted around for a while. I’ve got a nice search form here, but sometimes I want to search for something I blogged a few weeks ago and having a simple list of posts would be useful. I didn’t want to build "proper" pagination, just one giant list in on an HTML page. That’s not the best UX but as I’m building this for me, I approve. I thought it would be a quick little script, but as I built it, I ran into a few interesting... more → Posted in: JavaScript Tagged with: Eleventy, example, LiquidJS, posts, Quick
