New YouTube Series Launched: Building Your AWS Trading Data Pipeline!

/

I just published Part 1 of my new YouTube series, and I'm excited to share it with you all! After my recent post about automating trading strategies with AWS Cloud, many of you asked for a deeper dive into the technical implementation. Well, here it is!

What's in Part 1?

In this first video, we're tackling the foundation: configuring your AWS data pipeline and writing the Python code to make it all work. I walk through the exact steps I use in my own automated trading system, showing you how to:

  • Set up the basic AWS user and DynamoDB table

  • Configure your pipeline components

  • Write and deploy the necessary Python code

  • Avoid common pitfalls I encountered along the way

The best part? We're doing all of this using AWS's free tier, so you can follow along and experiment without worrying about costs.

Why This Matters

As I mentioned in my previous post about automation mistakes, running trading strategies manually or with desktop-based scheduling just isn't sustainable. Cloud automation isn't just a nice-to-have anymore – it's essential for reliable, scalable trading systems. This series aims to bridge the gap between having a working strategy and having a robust, automated trading infrastructure.

What's Coming Next

This is just the beginning! Future videos in the series will cover:

  • Strategy development

  • Lambda functions and event schedulers

  • API integrations

  • Notification systems

  • Error handling and monitoring

  • System scaling considerations
