Developing evolutionary architecture with AWS Lambda
This post shows how you can evolve a workload using hexagonal architecture. It explains how to add new functionality, change underlying infrastructure, or port the code base between different compute solutions. The main characteristics enabling this are loose coupling and strong encapsulation.
Translating content dynamically by using Amazon S3 Object Lambda
This blog post shows how you can use S3 Object Lambda with Amazon Translate to simplify dynamic content translation by using a data driven approach. With user-provided data as arguments, you can dynamically transform content in S3 and generate a new object.
Implementing a LIFO task queue using AWS Lambda and Amazon DynamoDB
This post was written by Diggory Briercliffe, Senior IoT Architect. When implementing a task queue, you can use Amazon SQS standard or FIFO (First-In-First-Out) queue types. Both queue types give priority to tasks created earlier over tasks that are created later. However, there are use cases where you need a LIFO (Last-In-First-Out) queue. This post […]
Using GitHub Actions to deploy serverless applications
This post is written by Gopi Krishnamurthy, Senior Solutions Architect. Continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) is one of the major DevOps components. This allows you to build, test, and deploy your applications rapidly and reliably, while improving quality and reducing time to market. GitHub is an AWS Partner Network (APN) with the AWS DevOps […]
Announcing migration of the Java 8 runtime in AWS Lambda to Amazon Corretto
Beginning July 19, 2021, the Java 8 managed runtime in AWS Lambda will migrate from the current Open Java Development Kit (OpenJDK) implementation to the latest Amazon Corretto implementation.
Setting up AWS Lambda with an Apache Kafka cluster within a VPC
Using resources such as NAT Gateways and VPC endpoints with PrivateLink, you can ensure that your data remains secure while also granting access to resources such as Lambda to help you create a Kafka consumer application. This post provides some tips to help you set up a Lambda function using Kafka as a trigger. It also explains various options available to send data securely.
Introducing the SMS sandbox for Amazon SNS
This post describes the SMS sandbox in SNS. It shows how you can configure the SMS sandbox features, quotas, and how you can move out of the sandbox.
Building private cross-account APIs using Amazon API Gateway and AWS PrivateLink
This post is written by Brian Zambrano, Enterprise Solutions Architect and Srinivasa Atta, Sr. Technical Account Manager With microservice architectures, multiple teams within an organization often build different parts of an application. Different teams may own functionality for a given business segment. An effective pattern to support this is a centrally managed public API. This […]
Using shared memory for low-latency, intra-node communication in AWS Batch
In this post, I show how the new shared memory support in AWS Batch is able to improve performance while decreasing the latency of the intra-node communication. This performance gain can also lower the cost of running jobs overall.
Controlling concurrency in distributed systems using AWS Step Functions
In this blog post, you learn how to control concurrency in a distributed system. You implement a semaphore using Step Functions and DynamoDB Conditional Expressions. Finally, you use EventBridge to trigger lock cleanup when you encounter failure.
