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 ...

Central America is discovering BeagleBoard!

The title is clear enough! I was on the VI Encuentro Centroamericano of Software Libre and gave a presentation about what is Beagleboard.org and showing some small demos of the BeagleBone Black.

Important refereces about Central America and Open Hardware/Single Board Computers & Microcontrollers

All of this data is according to what people said on Panama.
  • Arduino it's used in 6 countries of Central America as part of their computer science studies or electrical engineer
  • Raspberry Pi is also use on the 7 countries of Central America
  • Just 2 countries of Central America have listen about the BeagleBone Black. (Costa Rica & Honduras)
  • Just 1 country of Central America has work with a BeagleBone Black. (Honduras)

What was my talk about?

Basically my talk was about, what is the Beagleboard.org community and the Beaglebone Black.

  • I did a presentation on HTML explaining the BeagleBoard.org history and goals. Check the presentation here
  • I show some slides of Jason  Kridner presentation.
  •  Run a small demo on how to build a traffic light with leds, showing how to use the bonescript library. Here
What did people said?
They love it!

  • I will said it again, people love it!
  • They were surprise about the bonescript library,
  • That's basically one of the major problems of other platforms. How to involved Web with Hardware platform.
  • The University of Costa Rica will buy BeagleBone Blacks for next years. (They have listen about the project and were interested on it, but didn't knew about all the capacities it had)
  • Some professors of Panama universities were quite happy to see that they could use this tool on their courses, this is thanks to the bonescript library, it is now easy to request project involving web applications and hardware combined thanks to the BeagleBone Black.

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!
