This is Part 3 on a series detailing everything you need to get going on your serverless architecture whilst using your existing SQL Server database. View the source on GitHub or checkout Parts 1 & 2 if you haven’t already. Step 6: Handlers We haven’t done anything related to AWS Lambda so no wonder you are still confused. So now […]
This is Part 2 in a series describing how to get Microsoft SQL Server and AWS Lambda playing nicely together. You can find Part 1 here. If you already know how to use java SQL to connect to a database, you can skip these steps and move onto Part 3. Otherwise if you work better just looking at a sample, […]
AWS Lambda is great, but I had many difficulties finding a way to connect into my RDS SQL Server instance. I started with Python and ODBC (both pyodbc and pypyodbc), but ran into so many issues with missing libraries (LD_LIBRARY_PATH of death). I turned to Java, but I think SQL Server and Java are a bit like oil and water, […]
It was a super early start to our day as we needed to be at the Disneyland pickup on time otherwise we would have no idea how to get their and back on our own. We headed downstairs to get our first free breakfast at our awesome French hotel. It was pretty impressive, especially for a European breakfast, which from […]
No matter how long you leave yourself to get ready, I always feel rushed when you need to checkout from a hotel. Maybe it is the finality, once you leave that room – your home for two weeks, you will never ever return to that exact spot. We were running late and also hadn’t factored in the extra time everything […]
The mood was very somber as we woke knowing that today was the last full day in London. To make matters worse, we needed to wash our clothes again so that would waste a portion of this precious day. We packed our dirty clothes into our carry-on and went across the road for some breakfast. I had been there a […]
On the 12th day of London my true love and I decided to go back to South Kensington. We wanted to visit the Science Museum after enjoying the Natural History Museum so much. We also needed to buy some gifts at Harrods which is only down the road. We skipped breakfast as we knew we wanted to have an empty […]
It was a sunny winters day and our first destination was the London Dungeon. Wearing our more causal clothes, we walked through Trafalgar Square into the Arches and across a bridge over the Thames. We found ourself at Southbank amongst local music around the Eye. T-Rex and I enter the building and were greeted by performers dressed as 19th century […]
It was another late start on Wednesday and we didn’t find ourselves leaving the hotel until lunchtime. We decided to travel on foot to Oxford Street with a detour through the trendy suburb of Soho. We found so many affordable and cool cafès so close to where we were staying. However as we were combining brekky and lunch, we were […]
After needing a mammoth sleep from our twelve hour bus tour, we nibbled on some food left over from our many Tesco trips as we were too tired to get breakfast. We decided to try and get back to South Kensington as we wanted to explore the museums that we only got to go pass on the double decker tour […]
