Modern Architecture for Native Apps with AWS Backend: A Practical Guide

Introduction Designing a mobile app today goes far beyond building a beautiful interface. Native apps — whether for iOS or Android — need secure authentication, user role management, real-time communication with the backend, and scalable infrastructure to support growth. In this post, I’ll walk you through a clean and modern architecture to connect native mobile apps to a robust backend on AWS. The architecture is modular, scalable, and aligned with best practices for security and performance — without relying on overly complex tools. Why it matters: apps today are more than just UI A production-grade mobile app often includes: User login (email, Google, or others), Differentiated access for multiple roles (e.g., user vs admin), Secure token-based communication, A backend capable of handling business logic and data, Data storage, asset management, and scalable APIs, Compliance with Google Play and App Store requirements. All of these require a backend architecture ...

Dealing with generated code in HTML

Last night one friend of my calls me to help him with the application they use at the school he works. He wanted to have the final grades less than 70 with red color. It's only a one java-script function he tells me. And it's true. But there is a hidden story in that simple java-script function.

First of all. I start checking that the table is a generated table. No problem with this. But then i noticed something funny all the rows have the same ID. WTF was my first impression.
 <TD class=xl30 id="table1">{rc_ClassAvg1} </TD>  
 <TD class=xl30>>&nbsp;</TD>  
 <TD class=xl30 id="table2">>{rc_ClassAvg2} </TD>  
 <TD class=xl30>&nbsp;</TD>  
 <TD class=xl30 id="table3">{rc_ClassAvg3} </TD>  
rc_ClassAvg1 generates the code for all the grades, and all the rows it generates come with id=table1.

So my simple java-script file had to deal with repeated rows with the same idea. Looking at stackoverflow I found this question.

It help me deal with the generated code that had the same id.


 this.changecolor = function(){  
  var value;  
  var id;  
   var n = document.getElementById("table1");  
   var a = [];  
   var y=1;  
   while(n) {  
     a.push(n);  
     n.id = "table"+y;  
   y=y+1;  
     n = document.getElementById("table");  
  }  
  for(i=0;i<a.length;i++){  
   elementid=a[i].id;  
   value=document.getElementById(elementid).innerHTML;  
   if (value < 70 ){  
    document.getElementById(elementid).style.color='red';  
   }  
  }  
 };  
At the end I have to go by each element change the element id and put this elements in an array.
This would have been solved other way if my generated code didn't include the same id for each element. I guess that's a bug.

Just wondering what solution would have you done?

  1. The line inside the while loop:

    n = document.getElementById("table");

    Shouldn't be?
    n = document.getElementById("table1");

  2. Another problem would be that the "Table2" and "Table3" elements already exist and it will get duplicated, maybe you want to usen another id like "Table_n".

  3. Wouldn't it be better to use HTML5 form validation for things like this? If it's possible, then it should be a lot easier, a lot faster to code and a much more efficient.

    1. I mean something like this in html:

      «input required type="number" min="70" max=100" value="55"»

      And then a style sheet such as this:

      «style»
      input:invalid { background-color:red; }
      «/style»

    2. Yes! You are right. But there is a big issue. The place where they will use this they use IE8. HTML5 will not work

Understanding Liveness, Readiness and Startup Probes in Kubernetes

 This is a small article about understanding the liveness, readiness and startup in kubernetes.  There's good explanation in the kubernetes documentation: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-liveness-readiness-startup-probes/ This video also explains well the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTlQBofihJQ But I wanted to understand it in a practical way. So I have this demo: https://github.com/DiegoTc/guest-book-js-docker/tree/Running-App-Version-1 It's a simple application running on a kubernetes cluster. https://github.com/DiegoTc/guest-book-js-docker/blob/Running-App-Version-1/argo/deployment.yaml apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata: name: chat-ui spec: replicas: 1 revisionHistoryLimit: 3 selector: matchLabels: app: chat-ui template: metadata: labels: app: chat-ui spec: containers: - image: diegotc/guestbook:20230803-064434 imagePullPolicy: Alwa...

Getting Docker Syntax In Gedit

I have been working with docker in the last days, and encounter the syntax issue with gedit. Just pure plain text. So make a small search and found an easy way for fixing this. I found Jasper J.F. van den Bosch repository in GitHub and found the solution for this simple problem. We need to download the docker.lang file, available here:  https://github.com/ilogue/docker.lang/blob/master/docker.lang After that, you go to the folder you save the file and do the following command. sudo mv docker.lang /usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/  If this doesn't work you can try the following: sudo mv docker.lang  ~/.local/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/ And that's all!
