With cross-Region event routing in EventBridge, you can now route events from any AWS Region to other supported Regions. This post explains how to configure cross-Region event routing in the console and CLI and explains how to restrict access to routing capabilities. Finally, I walk through an example you can deploy to your AWS account.

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.

Developers around the world are already running serverless applications in production without worrying about servers. This new getting started series is for developers who want to join them. Follow along with blog posts, code examples, and practical exercises to learn how to build serverless applications from your local integrated development environment (IDE). In this post, […]

This blog post outlines a general approach to debugging Lambda performance issues and errors. This provides a repeatable process for isolating and resolving problems in your serverless workloads. Using the walkthrough of the Coffee Lookup application, I show how to reproduce a production bug, isolate the cause of errors, and then isolate the performance issue.

This post is written by Bryant Bost, Cloud Application Architect. There is not a one-size-fits-all approach to access control for Amazon API Gateway. Properties of your application such as API type, identity provider, client access patterns, privacy requirements, and others influence the design of your access control solution. Understanding the types of access control available […]

This post shows how to deploy an imagery processing pipeline in the AWS Cloud. It is decoupled to allow both pre and post-processing extensions to be integrated into the pipeline more easily. Visit the code repository for further information.

This post is written by Benjamin Gardiner, Partner Solutions Architect. Amazon Lightsail is a great way to get familiar with AWS. Lightsail simplifies the deployment of instances, databases, load balancers, CDNs, and now also containers. In this post I demonstrate how easy it is to launch a WordPress website using Lightsail containers and a Lightsail […]

Many existing monitoring and observability concepts also apply to Lambda-based applications. This post introduces key terms, application performance monitoring, with broad metrics can be useful for monitoring workloads.
