I previously wrote about owning my own data. An important part of data ownership is backing up your data. I use S3 as my long term data store. It is pretty easy to set this up using Terraform.

S3

Provisioning a S3 bucket is simply a single Terraform resource:

resource "aws_s3_bucket" "repo_archive_log" {
  acl = "log-delivery-write"
  bucket = "example-bucket"
  tags = {
    Name = "example"
    TTL = "persistent"
    ManagedBy = "Terraform"
  }
}

Lately, I have been writing more code outside of full-fleged IDEs and found myself tweaking Emacs into a lightweight IDE for Go. Having gofmt automagically formatting the code and refreshing it in the buffer is simply lovely. My current go-mode cusomization looks like this:

First, get the excellent go-playground package.

(package-install 'go-playround)

Then, configure Emacs

;; Automatically format your code on save
(add-hook 'before-save-hook 'gofmt-before-save)

;; Automatically display gofmt processed code in buffers
(custom-set-variables
 '(global-auto-revert-mode t)
 '(auto-revert-interval 1))

;; Verbose output when running tests via go-test-current-*
(setq go-test-args "-v")
