Reading Time: 2 minutes Scanamo is a library to use DynamoDB with Scala in a simpler manner with less error-prone code. Now the question is “Why should anyone use it?” The answer is very simple. As DynamoDB clients provided by AWS are not available in Scala DSL. So there are a number of libraries available for DynamoDB to write your queries in Scala. But what makes Scanamo different from other Continue Reading

Prior to that I would like to make you aware of Amazon Redshift, spark-redshift library and integration of Spark with Redshift. It is assumed that you have a fair knowledge of programming in Apache Spark and Spark SQL. You may refer to the documentation links Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes In my previous blog posts on AWS (Introduction to Amazon ECS | Launch Amazon ECS cluster | Scaling with Amazon ECS | Deploy updated Task definition/Docker image), I had given an overview about what is Amazon ECS with a walk-through on how to launch Amazon ECS and then deploy sample app by creating a task definition, scheduling tasks and configuring a cluster and to scale Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes In my last post regarding AWS, I had explained how to launch Amazon ECS cluster including cloud formation, VPC and subnet creation, ELB and ECS security group creation, auto scaling group, launch configuration, elastic load balancer creation with the help of sample app by creating a task definition, scheduling tasks and configuring a cluster through Amazon ECS First Run Wizard. In this blog, I will Continue Reading

Reading Time: < 1 minute In our previous blog post, Congregating Spark Files on S3, we explained that how we can Upload Files(saved in a Spark Cluster) on Amazon S3. Well, I agree that the method explained in that post was a little bit complex and hard to apply. Also, it adds a lot of boilerplate in our code. So, we started working on simplifying it & finding an easier way to provide a wrapper around Spark Continue Reading
