Jason Wood on S3 as a FileMaker Container Alternative & Connecting With Node-RED

The new year brings what promises to be two high signal-to-noise sessions from our very own Jason Wood. RSVP to get the link. Everyone is welcome.

Part 1: S3 as a FileMaker Container Alternative

FileMaker Container fields are easy to implement and great for a variety of use-cases, but when used to store large files or large numbers of files, they impose a heavy burden on your FileMaker infrastructure. It can be like a ball and chain attached to your FileMaker database, making it more cumbersome to move data between systems or to manage backups.
There is a better way!
Jason will show how you can use Amazon’s S3 service with FileMaker to achieve file storage bliss.

Part 2: Getting Connected With Node-RED

Node-RED is a programming tool that puts a graphical, flow-based development environment on top of Node.js, making it easy to build powerful API services to enhance your FileMaker apps.
Jason will show how you can use Node-RED to handle webhooks from any web service, and a variety of other use-cases for Node-RED.
