Adam H. Trotta

I'm a software engineer that loves solving problems with code!

I recently built Bastion, a scalable and customizable backend system deployed with AWS using Docker containers.

Previously, I conducted research in organic chemistry, leading to several peer-reviewed publications and a book chapter.

Bastion

  • Bastion is a scalable, open-source Backend-as-a-Service that gets deployed to the cloud with AWS, allowing a frontend developer to quickly set up a backend while maintaining control of the code and infrastructure.
  • Bastion is flexible and extensible, integrating with AWS Lambda to provide custom functionality for a variety of use cases.
  • And because Bastion runs using AWS infrastructure, it scales automatically when more resources are required.
Bastion Components
  • Bastion lets you deploy multiple independent Bastion Servers to the cloud.
  • The Bastion SDK is a JavaScript library that connects your frontend application to Bastion.
  • The Admin Dashboard lets you manage your Bastion Servers. You can create Cloud Code functions, upload files, manage users, and create collections.
