Setting up an SNS topic is pretty well documented, but I struggled with how to take action when the event is triggered.

Turns out it’s pretty straightforward. The event['detail-type'] will be Scheduled Event.

myFunction:
  Type: AWS::Serverless::Function
  Properties:
    Handler: app.handler
    Events:
      SNSTopicTrigger:
        Type: SNS
        Properties:
          Topic: !Ref rSNSTopic

rSNSTopic:
  Type: AWS::SNS::Topic
  Properties:
    DisplayName: SNSTrigger

anotherFunction:
    Properties:
      Policies:
        - AWSLambdaExecute
        - Version: '2012-10-17'
          Statement:
            - Effect: Allow
              Action:
                - sns:Publish
              Resource: !Ref rSNSTopic

SNS calling function

const message = {
  default: JSON.stringify({
    name: 'John Doe',
    timestamp: new Date(),
  }),
};
var params = {
  TopicArn: YOUR_SNS_TOPIC,
  Subject: 'An Important Event',
  MessageStructure: 'json',
  Message: JSON.stringify(message),
};
await sns.publish(params).promise();

SNS processing function

if (event.Records && event.Records[0].EventSource === 'aws:sns') {
  const message = JSON.parse(event.Records[0].Sns.Message);
  console.log(['SNS event', message]);
  doSomething(message);
}

Setting up a cron job in AWS lambda is pretty trivial, but I struggled with how to take action when the event is triggered. Turns out it’s pretty straightforward. The event['detail-type'] will be Scheduled Event.

myFunction:
  Type: AWS::Serverless::Function
  Properties:
    Handler: app.handler
    Events:
      myCron:
        Type: Schedule
        Properties:
          Schedule: "cron(? 10 * * Mon *)"

if (event['detail-type'] === 'Scheduled Event') {
  console.log('cron triggered');
  return await somethingThatWasScheduled(event);

Cybersource is a payment provider with poor examples and poor documentation. I struggled through this for about 25 hours before I found the right combination of settings.

First you need to include the cybersource-rest-client-java and AuthenticationSDK jars on your classpath. You can do this by adding the following to your Application.cfc or by dropping them into the \cfusion\lib folder

this.javaSettings = {LoadPaths = [".\libs\cybersource-rest-client-java-0.0.35.jar", ".\libs\AuthenticationSdk-0.0.17.jar"], loadColdFusionClassPath = true, reloadOnChange = false};

I’ve created a struct to house the default Cybersource credentials as the sample environment. You’ll want to replace test and production with your credentials, ideally pulling them from secrets and not hardcoded and placed into source control. The second parameter is your target origin, which varies by environment and potentially by user workstation as well.

<cfscript>
writeDump(retrieveFlexKey('sample', 'http://localhost:8500'));

public String function retrieveFlexKey(String environment, String targetOrigin) throws Exception {

  var flexPublicKey = "NoKeyReturned";

  var environmentDetails = {
    sample: {
      merchantID: "testrest",
      runEnvironment: "apitest.cybersource.com",
      merchantKeyId: "08c94330-f618-42a3-b09d-e1e43be5efda",
      merchantsecretKey: "yBJxy6LjM2TmcPGu+GaJrHtkke25fPpUX+UY6/L/1tE="
    },
    test: {
      merchantID: "testrest",
      runEnvironment: "apitest.cybersource.com",
      merchantKeyId: "08c94330-f618-42a3-b09d-e1e43be5efda",
      merchantsecretKey: "yBJxy6LjM2TmcPGu+GaJrHtkke25fPpUX+UY6/L/1tE="
    },
    production: {
      merchantID: "testrest",
      runEnvironment: "apitest.cybersource.com",
      merchantKeyId: "08c94330-f618-42a3-b09d-e1e43be5efda",
      merchantsecretKey: "yBJxy6LjM2TmcPGu+GaJrHtkke25fPpUX+UY6/L/1tE="
    }
  };

  try {
    var details = structKeyExists(environmentDetails, environment) ? environmentDetails[environment] : environmentDetails['sample'];
    props = createObject('java', 'java.util.Properties');
    props.setProperty("authenticationType", "http_signature");
    props.setProperty("merchantID", details['merchantID']);
    props.setProperty("runEnvironment", details['runEnvironment']);
    props.setProperty("merchantKeyId", details['merchantKeyId']);
    props.setProperty("merchantsecretKey", details['merchantsecretKey']);

    requestInfo = createObject('java', 'Model.GeneratePublicKeyRequest');
    requestInfo.encryptionType("RsaOaep256");
    requestInfo.targetOrigin(arguments.targetOrigin);

    merchantConfig = createObject('java', 'com.cybersource.authsdk.core.MerchantConfig').init(props);
    apiClient = createObject('java', 'Invokers.ApiClient');
    apiClient.merchantConfig = merchantConfig;

    keyGenerationApi = createObject('java', 'Api.KeyGenerationApi').init(apiClient);
    response = keyGenerationApi.generatePublicKey("JWT", requestInfo);

    responseCode = apiClient.responseCode;
    status = apiClient.status;
    writeDump(responseCode);
    writedump(status);
    if (responseCode == '200' && status == 'OK') {
      return response.getKeyId();
    }
  } catch (Exception e) {
    writeDump(e);
    // you'll want to login any errors somewhere
  }

  return flexPublicKey;
}

Trying to run npx cypress open and I received an error of

It looks like this is your first time using Cypress: 8.2.0

Cypress failed to start.

# Fatal error in , line 0
# Failed to deserialize the V8 snapshot blob. This can mean that the snapshot blob file is corrupted or missing.

Deleting node_modules and running npm install had no effect, but I was able to get it working again running npx cypress install --force.

If that doesn’t work you can also rename the Cypress cache folder. On windows it’s \AppData\Local\Cypress\Cache\<version>

I mistakenly put money into my Traditional IRA at Vanguard this year instead of my Roth IRA. I couldn’t for the life me find directions on how to change this, so I called Vanguard. It’s actually very simple.

1. Login to your account
2. Click on FORMS in the header
3. Click Add or remove money, trade within your account
4. Click Remove excess distributions or contributions, convert from a traditional to a Roth IRA, or recharacterize contributions Click Remove excess contributions, convert assets, or recharacterize contributions
5. Fill out the rest of form

Disclaimer: I’m not a tax professional, just a dude who messed up his contributions.

To rename a Concourse job and retain history, you can use the old_name attribute.

jobs:
  - name: build-8-jdk-centos
    old_name: 8-jdk-centos

Once you’ve fly’d the pipeline with the new and old_name attributes you can remove old_name and fly it again, it’s no longer needed.

A good reason to rename a job would be because of recent concourse deprecations with valid identifiers. Our existing job started with a number, which will stop being allowed in a future Concourse version.

DEPRECATION WARNING:

jobs.8-jdk-centos: '8-jdk-centos' is not a valid identifier: must start with a lowercase letter

First, create a secret, for this example we’ll be storing a username and password

kubectl create secret generic mssqldbcreds --from-literal=spring.db.username=mrbusche --from-literal=spring.db.password=hunter2

Second, add a reference to deployment.yml for each key

spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
        - env:
            - name: USERNAME
              valueFrom:
                secretKeyRef:
                  name: mssqldbcreds
                  key: spring.db.username
            - name: PASSWORD
              valueFrom:
                secretKeyRef:
                  name: mssqldbcreds
                  key: spring.db.password

Finally, reference the value in your application.yml

spring:
  db:
    username: ${USERNAME}
    password: ${PASSWORD}

If you’re having issues not getting a basic auth prompt when using the iOS in app browser you can pass the username and password in the url. This obviously isn’t a solution if this is a production issue, but works great for test environments.

Add a script to your package.json file

"scripts": {
    "local": "node -e \"console.log(require('./index').handler({}));\""
}

where index is the name of your js file with the code you want to execute

You can execute this script by running
