Prelude If you miss the beginning of my series, here’s my article about how to build an e-learning platform on AWS. Otherwise, if you are following this serie, the last time we build our backend to safely produce and store our HLS contents (if you miss it, follow the link). If you want to provide premium content you have put in place a solution to ensuring secure and efficient distribution of premium content to end-users. AWS CloudFront, coupled with signed cookies, provides a robust solution for precisely this purpose. This article will delve into the mechanisms of leveraging AWS CloudFront and signed cookies to deliver premium content seamlessly. ...

Prelude In the past year, I worked on a project to build an e-learning platform (actually, it’s so much more!). I started using AWS Amplify, and I end up testing so many different services around it. I’ll cover the following topics: Choosing the right AWS services; Designing the application architecture; Developing the backend; Developing the frontend; Deploying the application; I hope this article will be helpful for anyone who is considering building an e-learning platform or something similar. Spoiler is: the platform is not ready yet, but I hope I will have the chance to conclude it by the end of this year 🙏 my time is super limited unfortunately :/ ...

I was waiting for Golang implementation to come up, but in the end, Typescript is fair enough: it not only add Types, but the interfaces will let you be so much more effective in reading the docs and find out what is missing / what is wrong in your template. Sorry, in your code 😃. ...

Goodbye old blog 😭😭 I disapperead for a while because as you should notice, first of all - I have a new domain. HAHA. It’s not the first one I own, but to be honest it’s the first time I use a domain for myself. So as I was saying yes, this post is about a migration. Morever, since this is the very first cross platform cross domain blog post - I want to share with you what I learnt and what is still missing, how I did what I did but mainly how someelse did what I didn’t. ...
