My AWS Projects and Certifications!

I am a Certified Cloud Practitioner for AWS. I achieved this certification on December 6th, 2019. I have a general understanding of the service and am working towards learning more about its applications that benefit data analytics. These programs include Amazon Kinesis for real-time data analysis, Amazon Athena to query big data, Amazon Redshift for data warehousing, and Amazon QuickSight for data visualization.

I am working towards my AWS Certified Developer Associate Certification, AWS Certified Big Data Specialty Ceritification, and my AWS Certified Data Analytics certification.

Below I have listed some of the AWS Projects I completed with their services involved. Check back regularly to see what other new things I've been cooking up on AWS.

  • AWS DynamoDB with Python. Using Python scripts, I was able to insert, update, and delete items from my DynamoDB table, using a NoSQL format.
  • AWS DynamoDB Store with NodeJS. Made an online store with DynamoDB and updated it with items using a NodeJS script. Items were added with JSON file format. Check back later when I remake my Game Store project using a similar format to how this project was completed!
  • AWS SQS/SNS with NodeJS. Using NodeJS, I was able to make messages for an SQS queue. Also, was able to insert SNS notifications into the queue. Then was able to empty the queue of its messages until none were left. Can be used with lambda functions to process an event when messages are sent and read from the queue.
  • AWS Elasticache with NodeJS. Simple functionality with Amazon Elasticache using Redis. The NodeJS script could be used to update a high score table when certain keys are read and written.
