Too often, I see developers look a little flustered when they embark on a journey to build something new. Some of the questions/comments that repeatedly pop up: "There's a lot to do". "Will I be able to do it?". "Is the deadline reasonable?" Let's talk about this a bit, and see how we should approach this. #snowpal Hone your skills on learn.snowpal.com.…

If you are thinking about building Serverless Functions, there’s a high chance you are thinking about AWS Lambda. They’ve been around a long time. They are fairly easy to build but the one thing I’ve seen developers do repeatedly is rely on a deployment to the Cloud before they test their changes. There’s more optimal ways. Let’s discuss one of them. Purchase course in one of 2 ways: 1. Go to https://getsnowpal.com, and purchase it on the Web 2.

[Paid Course] Snowpal Education: Interfaces in Go (Golang) 0:51

0:51

According to Golang documentation, “An interface type is defined as a set of method signatures”. Fair enough, and that sounds like it is quite similar to how interfaces work in other languages. While there certainly are similarities, there are also nuances that you would be better served understanding before leveraging this construct. In this course, we will take a simple example (a manufactured one, sure) to understand how interfaces work in Go, and do a bit of LIVE coding. The idea is that by the end of this course, you will have a good sense of how interfaces work, and when they may be a good fit for the problem you are trying to solve.

If you are building an app today, it is likely you support some form of Social Media login. Or, if you are like us, you want to support all the most popular alternatives available: Facebook, Google, Apple and Microsoft. In addition, you may need to support sign in using one of these Social Media account both on Web and Mobile. If so, this course should help you. We’ll walk you through each of the 4 social media sign ins we support on Snowpal, both on Web and Mobile.

Let's implement a feature in this course. A real feature. As in, one that will be deployed to Production shortly, and be available on Snowpal's Mobile Apps on the App and Play Stores. Here's what we will do. Add API support for a new type of notification so it is part of the Endpoint Response. Most importantly, we will do it together. You’ll see in real time how one could go about implementing a requirement from start to finish.

If you work on Serverless Architectures, and are building Lambdas on AWS, it’s highly likely you are already using DynamoDB, & if you aren’t, it’s only a matter of time before you realize you really ought to :) While there’s no dearth of NoSQL databases, and despite the fact that AWS has plentiful support (to varying degrees) for a number of them, DynamoDB is a slightly unique database and it has a specific purpose when it comes to where it fits in & how well it does. Given that, it’s certainly useful to understand it a bit (better). Purchase course in one of 2 ways: 1. Go to https://getsnowpal.com, and purchase it on the Web 2.

Serverless Applications have been around a bit, and it's hard to see any ecosystem in a company where they do not play a part. There's a lot to Serverless Apps so what we'll do in this course is focus on what it takes to build AWS Server Applications using SAM Templates.

[Paid Course] Snowpal Education: Multi Tenant Architecture - Options 0:56

2 years ago0:56

0:56

We serve multiple clients via our Backend as a Service systems, and given that, multi tenancy is a core part of our architecture. While nothing is etched in stone and things are always subject to change, there are certain aspects of Software Architecture that, if you are not careful about, will be rather costly to make alterations to, and Multi Tenancy is definitely one of them. So, we explored several different options before arriving at the one we ended up implementing. When it comes to multi tenancy, there’s at least 4 options available, and which one you should ideally go with depends on a variety of factors. In this course, we are going to take a deeper look at each of these 4 architectures and review their pros and cons. The objective is that by the end of this course, you will have a good understanding of multi tenancy, and therefore, will be in a slightly better position to evaluate your choices, and go with the one that makes the most sense for your organization.

[Paid Course] Snowpal Education: Asynchronous Messaging With RabbitMQ 0:48

What you do not need to do “real time”, you should try not to do real time for a variety of reasons. In this course, we’ll look at a specific implementation that uses RabbitMQ as a Message Broker to better understand the pros and cons of various alternatives, including but not limited to whether or not you need to use messaging at all to solve such a problem. We’ll touch upon Kafka a tiny, tiny bit but keep our focus primarily to Messaging Architecture in general, and RabbitMQ as a broker in particular. By the end of this course, you should be in a position to tell when you need to use a Message Broker, which one you may want to use, and how you should go about using it. While what we’ll look at is a Ruby Microservice implementation, the learning would be just as applicable to other brokers and other languages. Purchase course in one of 2 ways: 1.

[Paid Course] Snowpal Education: Flutter App - Implement Tabs 0:59

2 years ago0:59

0:59

Flutter as a Framework provides a rich set of components, thereby enabling you to focus on spending all your energies on your business requirements. So, even when you need to implement tabs, you have the choice of using the OOTB Flutter Tab Widget, or finding one that’s a tad richer by going to pub.dev . Snowpal’s Mobile Apps are on the App and Play Stores, and while we’ve built a number of custom components, we refrain from doing it (or using a 3rd party plugin) unless we find significant value in doing so. As far as Tabs go, we are quite happy with what Flutter supports and all our tab implementations use the underlying Flutter Tab widgets. In this course, we’ll look at one of our Tab Implementations where I’ll walk you through our code so you get a sense of how tabs work in Flutter, and how you can easily leverage them.

[Paid Course] Snowpal Education: SQL Vs NoSQL - Which Way to Go? 0:56

2 years ago0:56

0:56

SQL (or RDBMS) has been around for a long time now. NoSQL databases are relatively newer but they too have been around for what feels like an eon now! Despite that, every time a new App, a new Service, or a new System is designed, there continues to be a sense of uncertainty around which direction to go (at least, it seems that way). There’s a few reasons for that, and there’s no single correct answer. So, while it surely depends on a variety of factors, and there is no dearth of documentation online about the differences between the 2 types of database systems, I still think it is worth a short course on it. In this hour-long course, we’ll take another look at the database options available today, and try to determine which ones would make the most sense, and when. Purchase course in one of 2 ways: 1.

[Paid Course] Snowpal Education: JSON Data Modeling - A Simple Example 0:44

You can represent hierarchical data in many ways with one of the most popular formats being JSON. If you are a UI developer, you are likely consuming JSON Data, and if you are a server side engineer, you are providing JSON Data (via REST or Graph APIs, for instance). It is imperative that your JSON Schema looks accurate and is a true structural representation of the problem you are setting out to solve. If it isn’t, it’s surely going to cause a bit of pain as your product’s adoptability grows (think backward compatibility, refactoring, extensibility, and more such challenges). In this course, we will take a recent feature we implemented on our Web App, and design the actual JSON Data Model alongside exploring alternative structures. Purchase course in one of 2 ways: 1.

[Paid Course] Snowpal Education: Authenticating Subscribers Using API Key & Product Code 1:14

You will need to provide an API Key for you to authenticate your API Requests. There’s many ways to generate this key and share it with your subscribers, and in this course, we’ll look at one of those ways. In addition, you will likely also need to publish an API code to your subscribers if you have listed more than 1 SaaS Product (say, on the AWS Marketplace, or one of the many API Hubs). I’ll walk you through our high level architecture so you can leave this course with a fair understanding of what it took us to support these 2 attributes (API Key & Product Code) in our implementation.

AWS Marketplace offers multiple categories for you to list your products under, one of which is SaaS. If you are looking to sell SaaS products, and are an AWS customer, I highly recommend that you list your products in the marketplace as it will provide plenty of visibility for you. In this course, I’ll walk you through the process of listing a SaaS product on AWS Marketplace as it can be a tad overwhelming at times. We launched a number of API products recently, and I will be sharing that experience with you in this course.

We implement new features (and enhancements) on a daily basis at Snowpal, and while how we approach each of those features from a UI/UX standpoint really depends, and is driven primarily by the feature and its complexities, there are many aspects of our approach that are generic to almost all features and enhancements. In this course, we’ll take a look at a simple feature to help understand what the process looks like. We’ll start with Requirements, discuss User Experience (UX), immediately followed by User Interface (UI).

Kanban is an immensely popular way to schedule your activities. We'll take a look at implementing one. Our Web Application supports multiple rendering modes, one of which is a Kanban mode. There's a number of things you can do when you are in Kanban mode, and all of it is functionality we wired (read: handcoded) into a Kanban component that we integrated. Essentially, we started off with integrating a Kanban component (and yes, we never try to reinvent the wheel!), and added all the necessary functionality we needed into it.

There's no one way to architect any application. With that said, some ways tend to work a tad better than others. In addition, the architecture of any application is bound to continually change as user base grows, as requirements change, as SLAs become tighter, as organizational structures change, and more. So, while it is important to get the architecture right to begin with, what's even more important is to ensure that it is resilient to change, is extensible, is flexible and long story short, stands the test of time. In this course, we'll look at one such architecture. Purchase course in one of 2 ways: 1. Go to https://getsnowpal.com, and purchase it on the Web 2.

Some frameworks dictate the directory structure to a large extent (hint: Rails!) but there are plenty others that give you all the leeway to structure it the way it works best for you.

It is imperative that you get the structure "right" so it is intuitive to your team members as your team grows.
