Inspiring Cloud Initiatives
So today I am delighted to announce that Insperitas can now take your messages despite being hosted as static pages on S3. <Fanfare>
When the contact form is completed and you hit Send then your browser should collect your data and send it to AWS API Gateway. Then AWS Lambda will post that into S3. If this doesn’t work well for your specific browser please let me know. You can still email via your normal method to contact@insperitas.com.
I want to take a few minutes to thank the authors and developers whose code I used or whose direction I followed to get this insperitas site to where it is today. I can’t possibly mention every name as I scoured the internet for clues when things went wrong and spent hours on stackoverflow. 🙂
For the contact form: Thanks to Collins Abonghama https://www.sitepoint.com/build-your-own-wordpress-contact-form-plugin-in-5-minutes/
For the lambda suggestions along with API Gateway I have to thank David Maple https://www.codeengine.com/articles/process-form-aws-api-gateway-lambda/
For Form building I followed TGroshon at CodeHabitude https://codehabitude.com/2016/04/05/forms-to-emails-using-aws-lambda-api-gateway/ and also Matt West whose work is posted at https://blog.teamtreehouse.com/create-ajax-contact-form
Also I had some help from my good friend Tim Fuller https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-fuller-788a2421/ Since I am not a natural developer I needed considerable syntax troubleshooting help.
Of course I also need to thank all the people I have worked on Cloud Solutions with over the course of the past few years at HSBC, FlyBe and Odeon. There are some great minds out there building some incredible solutions.
There are a number of trainers too at AWS, Google and RedHat who have helped enormously. Having run a number of training courses myself its easy to spot the professionalism.
