Automating AWS account bootstrapping with AWS-CDK
https://medium.com/@andrewfrazer/automating-aws-account-bootstrapping-with-aws-cdk-117e5ead1c51
Super interesting article on how to CDK bootstrap new accounts in a more DevOps way. Very cool is the idea that whenever a new account is created with Control Tower that will trigger an AWS CodeBuild job to bootstrap the account.
Thanks a lot to the author Andrew Frazer. And thank you for being a very active member of the CDK Community.

Why Do Developers Prefer Linux?
https://dev.to/techmaniacc/why-do-developers-prefer-linux-32a3
An interesting explanation of why developers prefer Linux. If you only compare Windows and Linux, I tend to agree with the points but the comparison with macOS is missing. Sure you could argue that macOS is close to Linux.
Thanks a lot to the author Joseph Mania
Streams in NodeJS
https://dev.to/kalashin1/streams-in-nodejs-2b8l
A nice article about the concept of streams. I used them a couple of times like in Data Engineering projects as I find them super useful for effectively processing big text data. In special the piping feature for connecting streams is super cool.
Thanks a lot to the author Kinanee Samson
Two ways to directly integrate AWS Lambda function with Amazon API Gateway
The article explains the two different types/ways how to connect an AWS API Gateway with a Lambda. That is the proxy and non-proxy type. Usually, you are using the proxy type. TBH. I never used the non-proxy type so it is interesting to read about it!
Thanks a lot to the author Wojciech Matuszewski
