How we automated IAM compliance enforcement across multiple AWS projects

Mobashshir Iqbal — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 09:11:17 +0000

Meghna Rawat — Sun, 24 May 2026 09:44:18 +0000

You’d think moving data from one AWS account to another would be straightforward. Export it, import it, done. That’s what the documentation implies, and honestly, that’s what I assumed going in. It wasn’t. What started as a data migration quickly turned into a system reconstruction problem. In DynamoDB, data alone is only half the story. […]

AWS for Developers: What DevOps Assume You Already Know

Jyoti Kumari — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 05:21:01 +0000

As a developer, I thought that once I pushed the code to the repository, I was done. I thought that things such as deployment, scalability, networking, and monitoring were all handled by the DevOps team. However, this is only true for a short period of time. At some point, when something go wrong in production […]
