Your RDS is in a Private Subnet — Now What?
Learn how to securely connect to your RDS database in a private subnet using an EC2 jumphost and AWS Session Manager. No SSH keys needed.
Welcome to my personal website! I'm Sandro, a fullstack serverless developer from Munich, Germany 🇩🇪. I specialize in building digital products on AWS. I love helping startups and enterprises implement scalable, cost-effective solutions.
I've authored two books on AWS (AWS Fundamentals & CloudWatch Book) and regularly speak at conferences and meetups. I also love to build digital projects - you can check out my recent projects here.
Interested in working together? I can help you architect cloud solutions, build serverless applications, or consult on AWS and cloud technologies. Feel free to reach out via email. If you want to learn more about me head over to this page.
