Starting on side projects again, so I am going to document them here at my easy-to-use ‘new’ blog. Thanks WordPress and other blogging tools.
I’m going to go through a variety of AWS tools and start with a Hello World test and then a more realistic test, maybe a stress test.
After a few tools are logged I’ll try to use them in conjunction, and eventually get to a more real project. Probably something with sports analytics, but I’ll see how I’m feeling after working with a few of the tools.
Two of the tools I’ve worked with are EC2 and Elastic Beanstalk, the 2 ‘compute’ tools. EC2 I used a while ago and it was definitely for more hardcore ops people. I got it up and running, but Elastic Beanstalk is easier after working with it a bit. Below is my first Hello World project. It is very simple code basically copied from a REST client and server example.

- Run client test (Failing Test)
- Generate a WAR with Maven from the code
- Create an Elastic Beanstalk server with Tomcat
- Upload the WAR
- Modify Client test with server address
- Run client test (Passing Test)
