When Lambda@Edge first came out, I added it to my blog’s CloudFront distribution in order to add security headers. Then, when Lambda@Edge added Python support, I converted my function from JavaScript to Python.
I’ve mentioned CloudFront’s speed, or lack thereof, several times in my past posts.
I’ve been working with CloudFormation in some form for about five years now. Two years ago at Time Out, I helped write an in-house tool that performed some basic template linting. One year ago at Genus AI, I started using the AWS Labs tool cfn-lint to validate my templates before deployment. It’s really neat, covers a lot more than our in-house tool did, and has saved me from a number of mistakes.
On Saturday, I posted my guide on Scoring A+ for Security Headers in Django, following my talk at DjangoCon Europe. I thought it would be a good idea to step up and make my own site score A+, rather than a dismal F! My site isn’t built in Django, but as a Jekyll static site. It’s hosted on AWS S3 and CloudFront.
