AppSync integrates seamlessly with a DynamoDB database. And as demonstrated in my previous article, AWS Amplify CLI can create the DynamoDB tables and generate the API CloudFormation infrastructure from an annotated GraphQL schema.

Our use case

It has been close to 3 years since Drupal 8 was released. With lots of amazing new features released in every 6 months we are getting more and more excited to see how Drupal has evolved and improved. With the release of Drupal 8.4, it is starting to use ES6 in core. However, there is not yet a standard practice to write ES6 in custom modules and themes. The ideal solution is for compiled JS to still stay in the original module or theme and make our output JS still be compatible with Drupal 8. Drupal is heavily modular, so Javascript files written for a module should ideally be stored with it. This atomic design pattern allows a module to easily be enabled or uninstalled, and makes our code clean. JS files could be also added in a theme level if they are more related to that theme. In this blog we will share our story on how to configure the project with webpack and other tools to facilitate ES6 in the whole Drupal 8 project including both custom modules and at the theme level.

Nodejs

Node.js has impressed me several times with high performance right out of the box. In my last Node.js project it was the same: we beat the given performance targets without having to tweak the application at all. I never really experienced this in Java EE projects. Granted the project was perfectly suited for Node.js: a small project centered around fetching JSON documents from CouchDB. Still I wanted to know: how would Java EE compare to Node.js in this particular case?

The 18th JavaOne started this Sunday in San Francisco. Covering three hotels in downtown SF, Hilton, Parc55 and Nikkon and with keynotes in the Moscone Centre, Oracle OpenWorld is hands down the biggest conference I've ever attended.  It covers 5 days in total and over 500 sessions plus side exhibitions and events. And it certainly needs the room, not only to accommodate the number of attendees going to these sessions but the breadth of the platform itself.

logoThe second incarnation of the Web Directions Code conference was this year on 2.-3. May, and I was fortunate enough to both attend and speak. The conference held in Melbourne Town Hall was the place to geek out about all things web: JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3.  More than 250 web professional turned up to learn about new directions the web is taking. In this blog I will summarise those talks that left the biggest impression on me.
