In this article we are describing how to integrate existing authorization procedure with Zendesk using JWT(JSON Web Tokens).

AWS Transfers for SFTP is a fully managed service that allows to easily upload/download data to/from AWS S3 using the SFTP protocol. In the previous blog post, we created a managed SFTP endpoint using the public key authentication. Sometimes, a username/password authentication may be required, e.g. if the access should be provided to existing users, e.g. from the AWS Cognito User Pool. In this blog post we are giving step-by-step instructions on how to implement a custom authentication for AWS Transfers for SFTP.

While everyone is moving to the cloud and modern software solutions, we still have many legacy systems with traditional integration approaches like uploading/downloading data via FTP(File Transfer Protocol) or SFTP(Secure Shell File Transfer Protocol).

We live in a connected world. Social, business, computer networks are around us. This knowledge brings us to the next natural step — analysis. Do A and B have mutual friends? Does outage of the device X affect the device Y also? Are Company 1 and Company 2 somehow connected?

Each day Internet of Things connects more and more devices. Often IoT means the presence of a dashboard/Web UI. But it can also be useful in desktop applications.

Often applications, especially if we are talking about e-Commerce or enterprise software, consist of complex repeatable scenarios(workflows) that must be executed in a response to some event.

Just imagine how great it could be if your mobile applications were aware of physical things nearby — personal stuff, vending machines, your car or bicycle... But how one can achieve that?
