![]() So for this project I partly used the AWS SAM framework and set up a CodePipeline to deploy my code changes instantly on AWS (stay tuned for a future blogpost on this).įirst let’s code up the AWS SAM template file containing the necessary resources for this project.Ī Cloudwatch event rule to invoke a lambda each evening around 8. Want to know this neat trick to save you from rubbish resentment? Read on! And that way I would be reminded to take out the trash on time and keep my garage clean. I could just import this into my phone and set an alert on it, but where’s the fun in that? After some fiddling around or “reverse engineering” as they call it, I found out that the data for the calendar files was provided by an undocumented but publicly available API.īeing the sucker for coding up and fooling around with APIs that I am (and given my state of utter boredom while under full lockdown in Belgium) I decided to code up a project based on this API that would send me an SMS notification the evening before garbage collection. Luckily for me I live in the modern and very civilised province of Limburg of Belgium where the local government has made a website available with a downloadable calendar showing all dates the garbage truck comes along: so handy! They even provide the calendar in a number of digital formats, including iCal. Do you run after the truck like a lunatic, even though it’s too late (of course I’ve never done this, but I’ve heard it’s a thing)? Or do you just let it go and let the garbage fester even longer? Either way, it’s a frustrating start to the day. ![]() It’s a familiar scene: as you’re waking up or making your morning coffee, you hear the garbage truck roaring away outside when you suddenly realize your garbage bags are still rotting away in the garage. Hi all, in this blogpost I will give a brief overview of how I used AWS to remind me to take out the trash.
