🔄 Real-Time Project Notes: Python + .
NET Core + AWS Integration
✅ Use Case:
Scenario: A web application built using .NET Core (API), Angular (Frontend), PostgreSQL (DB), Python (for
ML or ETL logic), and AWS for cloud services.
🔹 1. Architecture Overview
[Angular Frontend] ⇄ [.NET Core Web API] ⇄ [PostgreSQL / AWS Services]
⇄ [Python Services via Lambda or Container]
🔹 2. When to Use Python with .NET Core?
• When your ML/AI/ETL logic is in Python.
• Python scripts as AWS Lambda functions for background tasks.
• Data preprocessing or analytics using Python (pandas, NumPy).
🔹 3. Integration Pattern 1: .NET Calls Python via Lambda
• Python script deployed as Lambda function.
• .NET Core calls it via HttpClient or AWS SDK.
var lambdaClient = new AmazonLambdaClient();
var request = new InvokeRequest
{
FunctionName = "MyPythonLambda",
Payload = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new { userId = 123 })
};
var response = await lambdaClient.InvokeAsync(request);
Python Lambda:
def lambda_handler(event, context):
user_id = event['userId']
# do processing
return {'statusCode': 200, 'body': f'Processed user {user_id}'}

🔹 4. Integration Pattern 2: File Upload → S3 → Python Process → Notify .NET
• Angular uploads file → .NET Core API stores to S3
• S3 triggers Lambda (Python) to process the file
• Python publishes result to SNS or stores in S3
• .NET Core listens to result (polling or via SQS)
🔹 5. Integration Pattern 3: Python as ETL via Glue + Trigger from .NET
• Python ETL jobs defined in AWS Glue
• .NET Core triggers Glue job:
var glueClient = new AmazonGlueClient();
await glueClient.StartJobRunAsync(new StartJobRunRequest
{
JobName = "my-python-etl"
});
🔹 6. Common Data Sharing Methods
• S3 bucket (upload file/data → processed by Python)
• SQS queues (for async JSON messages)
• RDS/PostgreSQL (shared access from both languages)
• AWS EventBridge (advanced event-driven workflows)
🔹 7. Authentication and Secrets Sharing
• Use AWS Secrets Manager for DB/API keys
• Use IAM roles with minimum privilege
• JWT token flow can be fully handled by .NET Core
🔹 8. Deployment Strategy
• .NET Core: ECS Fargate / Lambda + API Gateway
• Angular: S3 + CloudFront
• Python: Lambda functions / ECS containers / Glue scripts
• PostgreSQL: Amazon RDS

🔹 9. Monitoring & Logging
• Use CloudWatch Logs for both .NET and Python Lambda
• .NET → Serilog AWS sink
• Python → boto3.client('logs')
