Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

AWS CF Generator Library

Use JavaScript code to generate CloudFormation scripts for infrastructure automation

Flow Image

Motivation

While the promise of infrastructure automation via cloud formation is exciting, anyone who has spent a reasonable amount of actually writing/updating CloudFormation scripts has realized that the process can actually be quite painful. Specifically:

  • The cloud formation scripts can get large and unweildy
  • There are significant chunks of repitetive declarations (think API response mappings)
  • It becomes increasingly hard to correctly maintain references between resources

This whole experience begs for a solution that relies more on code, and less on declarative markup for infrastructure.

What Does This Library Do?

It allows you to declare all of your resources as a collection of JavaScript files, where each file emits a JSON snippet that corresponds to the CloudFormation template for the resource. Then, you can either use the companion Grunt plugin, or write your own code (it's really easy) to generate a composite CloudFormation template that can be used to create and manage your AWS infrastructure.
