For many of us, Advent is a time to look forward; a countdown to Christmas; 24 days in December at the end of the year that we mark with special calendars. Hiding behind little windows in a festive picture are sketches, quotes, or perhaps even chocolates! I’ve built a simple AWS Lambda application to publish a custom Advent calendar with programming videos behind the windows.

I’ve published the code for this on my Github profile so you can clone it and run your own calendar.

There are three areas I want to focus on with this exercise,

1. Programming: I’m picking Python…
2. Deployment: let’s use AWS Lambda to keep the future days secret.
3. Infrastructure: we’ll use the CDK to define our infrastructure in code.
