Building a simple RESTful API using Gradle, OpenAPI 3.0 and Java/Spring Boot

Published on

I have a Google Doc containing a bunch of recipes that I have gathered up over the years. Finally (Corona cooking!) it has got a little unwieldy, so a more convenient way to browse the recipes would be really nice. Of course, there are probably a tonne of really great apps for handling that, but it was the perfect excuse to get familiar with OpenAPI 3.0… Long story short, check out this Github repo, where I pushed the code (so far).

Cost management for AWS

Published on

AWS is such a powerful tool to get things done quickly, and often cheaply. But it’s still a lurking worry for many that costs could quickly spiral out of control. Since I’m hosting my website here I’d like to know if costs change considerably, so I can act fast to save my credit card if I need to! This is by no means meant as a comprehensive guide on how to do this, I’m pretty certain that your AWS account manager can help with reading material for that!

In the previous blog post I talked about how I created the static pages for hosting on AWS S3.

Read from the front of the article if you want to know how I got there!
