For my job, I was writing infrastructure for a feature that would use AWS Step Functions. Initially, I thought an iterator state would be fine but then I thought a map state could be better/simpler in a distributed mode. So I looked into cdk constructs for distributed map but found that distributed mode is not natively supported in cdk v2 yet. I found that making a custom state could do the trick. I made a simple infra on my personal aws account to try it and it worked fine!

S3 bucket to hold the json data and lambda that will exist just to take in the mapped data and log it.

Lambda:

Simple state machine with the custom distributed map:

The sfn in aws console:

The cloudwatch logs:

There are times when I am like, "Heck yeah learning a new language to better fit some solution to a problem! A new tool in my toolset!" And then there are times when I am like "Why can't I just use Java for game dev, data analysis, web app dev, mobile dev, for EVERYTHING!!!"

I mean Java can do those things but some languages just handle certain solutions better and have more focused and mature libraries/frameworks. But I just want to "master" at least one language I guess. So therefor I want it to do everything with 1 language (Java).

Dart doesn’t have a JSON processor like Java’s Jackson, so I am having to manually convert my objects. This isn’t even all the field I will need for this class but I wanted to test that I can successfully add a document to the firestore db.

I can’t really post source code of what I am working on but I will to make examples to demonstrate. 

I have learned about using Mockito’s ArgumentCaptor when writing tests. Here is a simple test for the DatabaseDao class. I have a mock DatabaseMapper called `mapper` that has its `save()` method invoked to save an object to the Database. 

This test case is with a valid employeId which in the logic means I end up calling `mapper.save()` twice, so I verify it is called twice.

ArgumentCaptor will “capture” the argument object passed into `save()` so that I can confirm that the logic in DatabaseDao#save() is not changing the values from the request.

I need to find a book on Flutter development. Using YouTube tutorials for learning can but okay but I need some reading material that is not just pure documentation.

Okay but that Mob Psycho 100 episode was great but really sad.

Actually I should probably add a sign out button and the functionality first.  I should really be using my sprint board huh?

I am kind of getting the hang of the functional structure in Flutter, it is weird working in a hierarchical tree. I was playing around here trying to get the possible elements I would want on this screen. But I definitely need to start learning about Style and UI elements that exists and how to implement them.

Lets see if I can turn this old account into a coding/dev blog! 

My uni project is to create a cross-platform mobile app that help with tracking certain metrics about your new born baby. Stuff like feeding times, sleep schedule, medication, etc. Its in pretty early dev as I am still learning about the Flutter framework and the Dart language.

Lets see if I can keep up with a blog. Probably not since I can see many other people stop after the 1st or 3rd day lol

Rejoining Tumblr. Time to find my branding. Maybe a coding/programming blog 🤔
