Optimizing Compute-Intensive Serverless Workloads with Multi-threaded Rust on AWS Lambda

Customers use AWS Lambda to build Serverless applications for a wide variety of use cases, from simple API backends to complex data processing pipelines. Lambda’s flexibility makes it an excellent choice for many workloads, and with support for up to 10,240 MB of memory, you can now tackle compute-intensive tasks that were previously challenging in a Serverless environment. When you configure a Lambda function’s memory size, you allocate RAM and Lambda automatically provides proportional CPU power. When you configure 10,240 MB, your Lambda function has access to up to 6 vCPUs.

Amazon SageMaker AI now hosts NVIDIA Evo-2 NIM microservices

This post is co-written with Neel Patel, Abdullahi Olaoye, Kristopher Kersten, Aniket Deshpande from NVIDIA. Today, we’re excited to announce that the NVIDIA Evo-2 NVIDIA NIM microservice are now listed in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. You can use this launch to deploy accelerated and specialized NIM microservices to build, experiment, and responsibly scale your drug discovery […]

Building fault-tolerant applications with AWS Lambda durable functions

Business applications often coordinate multiple steps that need to run reliably or wait for extended periods, such as customer onboarding, payment processing, or orchestrating large language model inference. These critical processes require completion despite temporary disruptions or system failures. Developers currently spend significant time implementing mechanisms to track progress, handle failures, and manage resources when […]

Serverless ICYMI Q4 2025

Stay current with the latest serverless innovations that can transform your applications. In this 31st quarterly recap, discover the most impactful AWS serverless launches, features, and resources from Q4 2025 that you might have missed.

More room to build: serverless services now support payloads up to 1 MB

To support cloud applications that increasingly depend on rich contextual data, AWS is raising the maximum payload size from 256 KB to 1 MB for asynchronous AWS Lambda function invocations, Amazon Amazon SQS, and Amazon EventBridge. Developers can use this enhancement to build and maintain context-rich event-driven systems and reduce the need for complex workarounds such as data chunking or external large object storage.

Simplify network segmentation for AWS Outposts racks with multiple local gateway routing domains

AWS now supports multiple local gateway (LGW) routing domains on AWS Outposts racks to simplify network segmentation. Network segmentation is the practice of splitting a computer network into isolated subnetworks, or network segments. This reduces the attack surface so that if a host on one network segment is compromised, the hosts on the other network segments are not affected. Many customers in regulated industries such as manufacturing, health care and life sciences, banking, and others implement network segmentation as part of their on-premises network security standards to reduce the impact of a breach and help address compliance requirements.

Optimizing storage performance for Amazon EKS on AWS Outposts

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) on AWS Outposts brings the power of managed Kubernetes to your on-premises infrastructure. Use Amazon EKS on Outposts rack to create hybrid cloud deployments that maintain consistent AWS experiences across environments. As organizations increasingly adopt edge computing and hybrid architectures, storage optimization and performance tuning become critical for successful workload deployment.

.NET 10 runtime now available in AWS Lambda

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Lambda now supports .NET 10 as both a managed runtime and base container image. .NET is a popular language for building serverless applications. Developers can now use the new features and enhancements in .NET when creating serverless applications on Lambda. This includes support for file-based apps to streamline your projects by implementing functions using just a single file.

Building zero trust generative AI applications in healthcare with AWS Nitro Enclaves

In healthcare, generative AI is transforming how medical professionals analyze data, summarize clinical notes, and generate insights to improve patient outcomes. From automating medical documentation to assisting in diagnostic reasoning, large language models (LLMs) have the potential to augment clinical workflows and accelerate research. However, these innovations also introduce significant privacy, security, and intellectual property challenges.

Orchestrating large-scale document processing with AWS Step Functions and Amazon Bedrock batch inference

Organizations often have large volumes of documents containing valuable information that remains locked away and unsearchable. This solution addresses the need for a scalable, automated text extraction and knowledge base pipeline that transforms static document collections into intelligent, searchable repositories for generative AI applications.
