A Journey in Learning

AmazonIQ, Botble, freelance work

Recently I had taken up some freelance work for amazon IQ, I helped a client get images on their site to load. The website was https://www.studentacco.com/, the main issue was that the client imported the site using a template and lost all documentation on how to modify site settings.

I learned how important site documentation is, as a fullstack developer I need to make sure to get a source of documentation before touching any task. The site offloaded data into S3, I was able to determine S3 functionality was operational however the site PHP settings didn’t allow images to load. After attempting to upload my files I realized that most likely I would need to hunt down the documentation before continuing. After working with the client I was able to find the Botble documentation and found that PHP settings could be manipulated in wordpress itself. The site required access to the S3 bucket on the client’s account and used access keys to authenticate S3 requets. I informed the client this probably was not the best method to authenticate requests but was able to return functionality to the site.
