Getting mwaa-local-runner up on AWS Cloud9
Apr 17, 2023 | 5 minute read
Here is a quick recipe if you are looking to get mwaa-local-runner up and running on your Cloud9 developer setup. This might not be the most optimised way, so I am very happy to received suggestions on how to improve this. What I will cover here is how to deploy mwaa-local-runner onto a standard Cloud9 IDE, deployed in a default VPC. Updating my AWS Cloud9 environment The first thing I needed to do was to increase the size of my local disk as Cloud9 only provides 10gb of storage.

This weeks projects include a really nice handy browser plugin called “aws-search-extension”, that lets you search and find developer information from the AWS docs, a tool that will help you detect whether you have configured or using dockershim in your Kubernetes clusters, a library to help you integrate Amazon Cognito in your Laravel PHP applications, and plenty more developer tools and sample projects.

Orchestrating hybrid workflows using Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA)
Mar 7, 2022 | 46 minute read
Using Apache Airflow to orchestrate hybrid workflows In some recent discussions with customers, the topic of how open source is increasingly being used as a common mechanisms to help build re-usable solutions that can protect investments in engineering and development time, skills and that work across on premises and Cloud environment. In 2021 my most viewed blog post talked about how you can build and deploy containerised applications, anywhere (Cloud, your data centre, other Clouds) and on anything (Intel and Arm).

Setting up MWAA to use a KMS key
Dec 14, 2021 | 6 minute read
Introduction In a previous post, I shared how you can using AWS CDK to provision your Apache Airflow environments using the Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow service (MWAA). I was contacted this week by Michael Grabenstein, who flagged an issue with the code in that post. The post used code that configured a kms key for the MWAA environment, but when trying to deploy the app it would fail with the following error:

Integrating Amazon Timestream in your Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow v2.x
Sep 23, 2021 | 28 minute read
Integrating with Amazon Timestream in your Apache Airflow DAGs Amazon Timestream is a fast, scalable, and serverless time series database service perfect for use cases that generate huge amounts of events per day, optimised to make it faster and more cost effective that using relational databases. I have been playing around with Amazon Timestream to prepare for a talk I am doing with some colleagues, and wanted to see how I could integrate it with other AWS services in the context of leveraging some of the key capabilities of Amazon Timestream.

Reading and writing data across different AWS accounts with Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow v2.x
Sep 7, 2021 | 13 minute read
Reading and writing data across different AWS accounts in you Apache Airflow DAGs As regular readers will know, I sometimes lurk in the Apache Airflow slack channel to see what is going on. If you are new to Apache Airflow, or want to get a deeper understanding then I highly recommend spending some time here. The community is super welcoming and eager to help new participants. It was during a recent session I came across an interesting problem that one of the builders was having, which was how to access (read/write) data in an S3 bucket which was in a different account to the one hosting Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA).

Working with parameters and variables in Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow
Jul 27, 2021 | 36 minute read
Maximising the re-use of your DAGs in MWAA During some recently conversations with customers, one of the topics that they were interested in was how to create re-usable, parameterised Apache Airflow workflows (DAGs) that could be executed dynamically through the use variables and/or parameters (either submitted via the UI or the command line). This makes a lot of sense, as you may find that you repeat similar tasks in your workflows, and so this approach allows you to maximise the re-use of that work.

Working with the RedshiftToS3Transfer operator and Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow
May 15, 2021 | 18 minute read
Introduction Inspired by a recent conversation within the Apache Airflow open source slack community, I decided to channel the inner terrier within me to tackle this particular issue, around getting an Apache Airflow operator (the protagonist for this post) to work. I found the perfect catalyst in the way of the original launch post of Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA). As is often the way, diving into that post (creating a workflow to take some source files, transform them and then move them into Amazon Redshift) led me down some unexpected paths to here, this post.

Using AWS CDK to deploy your Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow environment
Apr 28, 2021 | 11 minute read
update I am grateful to Michael Grabenstein for spotting some mistakes in the original post/code. I hope these have now been rectified in this post. Using AWS CDK to deploy your Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow environment What better way to celebrate CDK Day than to return to a previous blog where I wrote about automating the installation and configuration of Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA), and take a look at doing the same thing but this time using AWS CDK.

Automating your ELT Workflows with Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow - Part Two
Apr 21, 2021 | 17 minute read
Part Two - Automating Amazon EMR In Part One, we automated an example ELT workflow on Amazon Athena using Apache Airflow. In this post, Part Two, we will do the same thing but automate the same example ELT workflow using Amazon EMR. Make sure you recap the setup from Part One. All the code so you can reproduce this yourself can be found in the GitHub repository here. Automating Amazon EMR

Automating your ELT Workflows with Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow - Part One
Apr 21, 2021 | 18 minute read
update: I have changed the post to use standard Apache Airflow variables rather than using AWS Secrets Manager. Part One - Automating Amazon Athena As part of an upcoming DevDay event, I have been working on how you can use Apache Airflow to help automate your Extract, Load and Transform (ELT) Workflows. Amazon Athena and Amazon EMR are two AWS services that help customers who have existing SQL skills/expertise and are looking at tools such as Presto or Apache Hive when undertaking those transformations.
