Building a Jenkins Pipeline with AWS SAM
This post is courtesy of Tarun Kumar Mall, SDE at AWS. This post shows how to set up a multi-stage pipeline on a Jenkins host for a serverless application, using the AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM). Overview This tutorial uses Jenkins Pipeline plugin. A commit to the main branch of the repository starts and […]
Using container image support for AWS Lambda with AWS SAM
At AWS re:Invent 2020, AWS Lambda released Container Image Support for Lambda functions. This new feature allows developers to package and deploy Lambda functions as container images of up to 10 GB in size. With this release, AWS SAM also added support to manage, build, and deploy Lambda functions using container images. In this blog post, I walk through […]
Tracking the latest server images in Amazon EC2 Image Builder pipelines
This post courtesy of Anoop Rachamadugu, Cloud Architect at AWS The Amazon EC2 Image Builder service helps users to build and maintain server images. The images created by EC2 Image Builder can be used with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and on-premises. Image Builder reduces the effort of keeping images up-to-date and secure by providing […]
Performing canary deployments for service integrations with Amazon API Gateway
This post authored by Dhiraj Thakur and Sameer Goel, Solutions Architects at AWS. When building serverless web applications, it is common to use AWS Lambda functions as the compute layer for business logic. To manage canary releases, it’s best practice to use Lambda deployment preferences. However, if you use Amazon API Gateway service integrations instead […]
Troubleshooting Amazon API Gateway with enhanced observability variables
Amazon API Gateway is often used for managing access to serverless applications. Additionally, it can help developers reduce code and increase security with features like AWS WAF integration and authorizers at the API level. Because more is handled by API Gateway, developers tell us they would like to see more data points on the individual […]
Building storage-first serverless applications with HTTP APIs service integrations
Over the last year, I have been talking about “storage first” serverless patterns. With these patterns, data is stored persistently before any business logic is applied. The advantage of this pattern is increased application resiliency. By persisting the data before processing, the original data is still available, if or when errors occur. Common pattern for […]
Migrating AWS Lambda functions to Amazon Linux 2
July 26, 2023 update: Information in this post has been superseded by Migrating AWS Lambda functions from the Go1.x runtime to the custom runtime on Amazon Linux 2. You can now use the latest version of any of the AWS Lambda runtimes on Amazon Linux 2 (AL2). End-of-life of standard support for Amazon Linux (AL1 […]
ICYMI: Season one of Sessions with SAM
February 12, 2024: Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose has been renamed to Amazon Data Firehose. Read the AWS What’s New post to learn more. Developers tell us they want to know how to easily build and manage their serverless applications. In 2017 AWS announced AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) to help with just that. To help […]
The AWS Serverless Application Model CLI is now generally available
The AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) is an open-source framework for building serverless applications. Built on AWS CloudFormation, AWS SAM provides shorthand syntax to declare serverless resources. During deployment, AWS SAM transforms the serverless resources into CloudFormation syntax, enabling you to build serverless applications faster. As a companion to AWS SAM, the AWS SAM […]
Creating serverless applications with the AWS Cloud Development Kit
This post is contributed by Daniele Stroppa, Sr. Solutions Architect In October 2019, AWS released an improvement to the getting started experience in the AWS Lambda console. This enables you to create applications that follow common best practices, using infrastructure as code (IaC). It also provides a continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline for […]
