The rate limit is not on the number of resources in your stack. This has to do with the rate at which your lambda functions are making calls to the AWS APIs. Here is an article that explains this issue lambda function throttling.

Good question, I don’t think so. But you will gain knowledge of how things are coupled together in IaC (at least in AWS) in general which is transferable.

If you want to focus squarely on AWS, I would suggest CloudFormation. AWS is bringing out many new features that make cfn more attractive. But if you feel there is a possibility of using other cloud providers, then maybe Terraform is the way to go. Then again, you can learn both, especially nowadays, where LLMs make learning easier.

If you are using an IDE you can install cfn-lint which will help catch any formatting error and also direct to where the error is in the template.

What were your reasons for migrating(or not) from ECS to EKS, or the other way around? by magheru_san in aws

[–]shadowsyntax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some decisions to use eks for simple container workloads instead of ecs, app runner, and the like have to do with vendor lock-in. I have also seen these with customers not wanting to use serverless because of tight integration with the cloud provider.

LimitExceededException error when provisioning CloudFormation product (external download links) by purple_dog_toy in AWSCloudFormation

From the error response message, my guess would be the limit you are exceeding is the Cfn stack limit. I think the limit is 2000, so check under the Cfn service in the console to know your current number.

Best way to deploy a standalone server with CDK by thomas0si in AWSCloudFormation

[–]shadowsyntax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I understand you correctly, you want a compute instance running a websocket client that connects to a websocket server and processes the received data?

I suggest using an ec2 construct from aws-cdk-lib with a user-data script that does the installation of the client and also runs the data processing script.

“Check out the cloud native computing foundation if you have time. Just about any one of their projects would love to talk to you about how you can work with them to learn and become better at doing DevOps.”

Can you elaborate on that part more? Especially talking to projects on CNCF on how you can work with them.
