Lightsail
- To get Filezilla working with Lightsail I followed the instructions I found here:
- When you "Open Connection", Choose SFTP
- Server is the Public IP for your instance (port will be 22)
- Username is indicated on the "Connect" tab of manage instance
- Choose the SSH Private Key for the instance (you can download the Default Key from the accounts page if you didn't create/upload your own)

- virtualenv venv
- source venv/bin/activate

- ln -s /var/www/<project_name> <project_name>
- ln -s /var/www/<project_name>/venv/bin/activate activate_venv
- To get the server to run in a virtualenv I followed some instructions I found here:
- Open up /etc/apache2/sites-available/<your_website>.conf
- Look for a line that says "WSGIDaemonProcess <name_of_the_app>"
- Change it to read "WSGIDaemonProcess <name_of_the_app> python-home=/path/to/the/venv"

- What kind of database is DynamoDB?
- You don't need to manage DynamoDB servers. How do you then scale the database?
- NW: One thing I don't remember being mentioned (that came up in the answer). This method of storage isn't completely hands-off; you do need to "decide how much read/write capacity (per second) you need".
- What's "Provisioned Throughput" or "Read and Write Capacity" all about?
- Answer: "It defines how many read or write actions you may perform per action." More info here.
- How do you access DynamoDB actions via Lambda?
- NW: He hadn't actually covered this before asking this question.
- What's a "Primary Key" and how is it connected to "Partition Key" and "Sort Key"
- What's the difference between scan() and getItem() ?
- NW: Pretty sure he hasn't covered this yet.
- "getItem() only returns one item, scan() returns multiple items."
