In this blog, I will show how to build a Custom Operator in Airflow to make calls to external APIs. As we do this, we will see how to use secrets in Airflow, make tasks communicate with each other and interpret the output of an SSH Operator. Although this blog refers to posting messages to Skype, all it does is […]
Building Custom Operator in Airflow for external API calls
Add Google Sign-In to your Flask app
Recently, I integrated SSO with Google Sign-In into a web application using the oauthlib library. While working on this project, I found plenty of resources on SSO and oauthlib separately, but struggled to find a tutorial that could guide me through the setup of Google Sign-In using oauthlib in a timely manner. Therefore, I’ve written this post to provide a […]
Testing AWS Lambda Functions with Batch Messages
We find most testers just run the most basic tests on Lambdas. One technique that has helped us discover more bugs when testing Lambdas at Qxf2 is to send batch messages to the SQS that triggers the Lambda. Often times, when you (the tester) send batch messages and “something goes wrong”, you need to be able to triage the cause […]
Combining Rust and Py03 with Python
Recently, Qxf2 has been transitioning to Rust and has been writing many blogs on various topics related to Rust. The main aim of these blogs is to document our progress. In this post, I am writing about how I used Py03/maturin tool to call a Rust library from Python. We have initiated a Rust-based project called “meme-generator” to generate attention-grabbing […]
Parameterize Tests in Rust: rstest
This post will discuss how to parameterize tests in Rust. Qxf2 likes the fact that Rust makes testing a first class citizen of the language. It provides a test runner out of the box. However, coming from Python land, we missed one feature – test parametrization. So went about looking for crates that could help. We have found rstest to […]
