Build AI-Powered Applications with Python Flask & Amazon Bedrock: Step-by-Step Guide

Image
Actors and Components User : Interacts with the application through the Web Interface (frontend). Frontend : Web Interface : Displays a user-friendly interface. Collects input (prompt) from the user. Sends the input to the backend for processing. Backend : Flask Application : Processes user input and communicates with Amazon Bedrock API. Handles requests and returns AI-generated responses to the frontend. Amazon Bedrock : Foundation Models : Provides the AI capabilities (e.g., text generation, summarization). Responds to API requests made by the Flask application. Deployment : Two deployment options: AWS Elastic Beanstalk : A managed service for deploying and scaling web applications. AWS EC2 : A virtual server in the cloud for custom deployment and management. Workflow User Interaction : The user inputs a prompt via the Web Interface. Request Handling : The Web Interface sends the prompt to the Flask backend. AI Processing : The Flask application forwards the request to the Amazon Be...

Spring Boot Vault Integration Testing with Testcontainers | Guide

Image
Explanation: Spring Boot : Represents the Spring Boot application. Testcontainers : This section represents the Testcontainers framework that spins up the Vault container for integration testing. Vault Container : Represents the Vault container that is managed by Testcontainers. Vault : Represents HashiCorp Vault itself. To integrate Spring Boot with HashiCorp Vault using Testcontainers for end-to-end testing, we need to follow these steps: Docker Setup   Install Docker:  Download and install Docker from Docker's official website . Windows/macOS: Install and run Docker Desktop. Linux: Install Docker Engine using your package manager. Verify Installation: Run docker --version to confirm Docker is installed. Start Docker: Windows/macOS: Launch Docker Desktop and ensure it’s running. Linux: Start Docker with sudo systemctl start docker . Add Dependencies Add the required dependencies in your pom.xml for Spring Boot, HashiCorp Vault, and Testcontainers. < properties > ...

Spring AI: Build AI-Driven Applications with Spring Boot and Amazon Bedrock

Image
The integration of AI capabilities into modern applications has become a critical trend in software development. With frameworks like Spring Boot and AWS Bedrock, developers can efficiently build robust, scalable, and AI-driven applications. This guide provides a step-by-step process to create a Spring Boot application integrated with Bedrock AI using the spring-ai-bedrock-ai-spring-boot-starter library. Technologies Involved 1. Spring Boot Spring Boot is a popular framework for building Java-based microservices and applications. It simplifies application setup with its opinionated approach and provides essential features such as dependency management, embedded servers, and auto-configuration. Advantages: Rapid development with minimal configuration. Rich ecosystem of libraries and extensions. Production-ready tools like Actuator for monitoring and metrics. 2. AWS Bedrock AWS Bedrock provides developers with the ability to build and scale generative AI applications using pre-trained f...

JWT Authentication and Authorization with Golang: End-to-End Guide

Image
Here's a brief explanation of the diagram: User logs in: The user sends a POST request to the /login endpoint. API processes request: The API forwards this request to the Auth Controller for login processing. Check credentials: The Auth Controller checks the user credentials in the mock database. Generate JWT: If credentials are valid, the Auth Controller calls Token Utils to generate a JWT. Return JWT: The generated JWT is returned to the API and then back to the user. Access protected resource: The user sends a GET request to the /auth/protected endpoint with the JWT in the Authorization header. Validate JWT: The API uses JWT Middleware to validate the JWT by calling Token Utils . Claims validation: Token Utils returns the claims to JWT Middleware , which allows the request to proceed. Resource access: The API processes the request and returns the protected resource to the user. This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough for implementing JSON Web Token (JWT)...

CQRS Design Pattern and Python Flask Microservices Implementation Guide

Image
This diagram illustrates the Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) design pattern applied to a microservices architecture. Here's a breakdown of its components: Key Elements: Microservices : Order Microservice : Handles commands (e.g., create, update, delete orders) through the Command Service and Command Model . Handles queries (e.g., fetching order details) via the Query Service and Query Model . Customer Microservice : Handles customer-related commands through its Command Service and Command Model . Handles customer queries via its Query Service and Query Model . Endpoints : Command Endpoint : Processes write operations. Query Endpoint : Processes read operations. Event Store : Centralized storage for events generated by the command operations. Ensures consistency and event sourcing. Read Storage : Optimized for query operations, providing fast access to read-only data. Message Broker : Facilitates communication between microservices by publishing and consuming ev...

3 Ways to Dockerize Your Spring Boot Application: Dockerfile, Jib, and Buildpacks

Image
Here’s a guide to generate a Docker image for a Spring Boot application using three different methods . Each method has its use case, depending on your project's needs and complexity. 1. Using a Dockerfile This method gives you full control over the image creation process. Steps: Create a Dockerfile : Create a file named Dockerfile in the root directory of your Spring Boot project with the following content: FROM openjdk: 17 -jdk-slim ARG JAR_FILE=target/app.jar COPY ${JAR_FILE} app.jar ENTRYPOINT [ "java" , "-jar" , "/app.jar" ] Build the JAR file: Package your application into a JAR file: mvn clean package Build the Docker image: Run the following command to build the Docker image: docker build -t spring- boot - app . Run the Docker container: Start the container: docker run -p 8080:8080 spring- boot - app 2. Using Jib (Maven/Gradle Plugin) Jib is a tool from Google that simplifies the process of creating Docker images without needing a D...
