Serverless development allows deploying low-cost, low-maintenance applications. Go is an ever-more popular language for developing backend applications. With first rate support both in AWS Lambda and GCP Cloud Functions, Go is an excellent choice for serverless development. Unfortunately, setting up a flexible infrastructure and efficient deployment pipelines for Serverless applications is not always easy. Especially … Continue reading Lambda Go Starter Project

Express.js on Lambda Getting Started
AWS Lambda is a cost efficient and easy way to deploy server applications. Express.js is a very popular Node.js framework that makes it very easy to develop REST APIs. This post will go through the basics of deploying an Express.js application to AWS Lambda. You can also check out the sample project on GitHub. Develop … Continue reading Express.js on Lambda Getting Started
Textures and Lighting with React and Three.js
In my previous three posts, I have developed a simple WebGL application using react-three-fiber and three.js. In this post, I am adding texture loading and proper lighting to the application. For reference, here the links to the previous versions of the app: Version 1: Just being able to drag a shape on the screen Version … Continue reading Textures and Lighting with React and Three.js
Camera Movement with Three.js
I have recently been working on small example application using three.js and react-three-fiber. In the first two iterations, I first developed a simple draggable shape floating in space and then supported multiple shapes that can be moved on a physical plane. In this post, I am going to be extending the example to support camera … Continue reading Camera Movement with Three.js
Create and Drag Shapes with Three.js, React and Cannon.js
Following up from my article published a few days ago, I have now extended and improved the simple WebGL application that I originally developed using Three.js and react-three-fiber. Version 1 of the application allowed dragging a simple shape around on the screen: App: https://react-three-fiber-draggable.surge.sh/ Source Code: https://github.com/mxro/threejs-test/tree/master/test1 Version 2 combines this basic premise with the … Continue reading Create and Drag Shapes with Three.js, React and Cannon.js
Creating a Draggable Shape with React Three Fiber
I recently became interested how to render 3D graphics in the browser. I think WebGL is an extremely powerful technology and may one day become an important way of rendering content on the web. There are various frameworks and tools available to use WebGL such as Babylon.js and three.js. To me, three.js looks the most … Continue reading Creating a Draggable Shape with React Three Fiber
Testing Apollo Client/Server Applications
Following up on the GraphQL, Node.JS and React Monorepo Starter Kit and GraphQL Apollo Starter Kit (Lerna, Node.js), I have now created an extended example which includes facilities to run unit and integration tests using Jest. The code can be found on GitHub: apollo-client-server-tests The following tests are included: React Component Test This tests asserts … Continue reading Testing Apollo Client/Server Applications
GraphQL Apollo Starter Kit (Lerna, Node.js)
In many ways developing in Node.js is very fast and lightweight. However it can also be bewildering at times. Mostly so since for everything there seems to be more than one established way of doing things. Moreover, the right way to do something can change within 3 to 6 months, so best practices documented in … Continue reading GraphQL Apollo Starter Kit (Lerna, Node.js)
Free Tool for Renaming Files with Current Date
For many files, it is good to keep track of when they were originally created. In theory, every file created on any mainstream operating system should have its 'creation date' and 'last date modified' recorded as part of its metadata. This mechanisms, however, is often unreliable, especially when using file synchronisation tools such as Dropbox … Continue reading Free Tool for Renaming Files with Current Date
PlantUML (Open Source Awesomeness)
I've always had a soft spot for diagrams. I think that representing information in various visual ways tremendously helps our thinking and understanding. Unfortunately it is often a big headache to create (and maintain) diagrams. So I was very pleased today when I came across PlantUML. PlantUML is a Java library and web service which … Continue reading PlantUML (Open Source Awesomeness)
