Building server-side rendering for React in AWS Lambda
This post demonstrates two ways you can implement and deploy a solution for server-side rendering in React applications, by using Lambda or Lambda@Edge. It also shows how to use open-source tools and AWS CDK to automate the building and deployment of such applications.
Read MoreOperating Lambda: Anti-patterns in event-driven architectures – Part 3
This post discusses anti-pattern in event-driven architectures using Lambda. I show some of the issues when using monolithic Lambda functions or using custom code to orchestrate workflows. I explain how to avoid recursive architectures that cause loops and why you should avoid functions calling functions.
Read MoreOperating Lambda: Design principles in event-driven architectures – Part 2
This post discusses the design principles that can help you develop well-architected serverless applications. I explain why using services instead of code can help improve your application’s agility and scalability. I also show how statelessness and function design also contribute to good application architecture.
Read MoreIntroducing message archiving and analytics for Amazon SNS
In this post, we show how SNS delivery to Kinesis Data Firehose enables you to integrate SNS with storage and analytics services. The example shows how to create an SNS subscription to use a Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream to store SNS messages in an S3 bucket.
Read MoreOperating Lambda: Understanding event-driven architecture – Part 1
In the Operating Lambda series, I cover important topics for developers, architects, and systems administrators who are managing AWS Lambda-based applications. This three-part series discusses event-driven architectures and how these relate to serverless applications. Part 1 covers the benefits of the event-driven paradigm and how it can improve throughput, scale and extensibility, while also reducing […]
Read MoreDiscovering sensitive data in AWS CodeCommit with AWS Lambda
This post demonstrates how you can implement a solution to discover secrets in commits to AWS CodeCommit repositories. It also defines different strategies to remediate this.

Read MoreIngesting MongoDB Atlas data using Amazon EventBridge
This post demonstrates how to connect MongoDB Atlas data with the AWS Cloud using Amazon EventBridge. EventBridge helps you connect data from a range of SaaS applications using minimal code. It can help reduce operational overhead and build powerful event-driven architectures more easily. For more information about integrating data between SaaS applications, see Amazon EventBridge.
Read MoreAutomating mutual TLS setup for Amazon API Gateway
Mutual TLS (mTLS) for API Gateway is now generally available at no additional cost. This post shows how to automate mutual TLS for Amazon API Gateway HTTP APIs using the AWS Certificate Manager Private Certificate Authority as a private CA. Using infrastructure as code (IaC) enables you to develop, deploy, and scale cloud applications, often with greater speed, less risk, and reduced cost.
Read MoreOptimizing batch processing with custom checkpoints in AWS Lambda
The default behavior for stream processing in Lambda functions enables entire batches of messages to succeed or fail. You can also use batch bisecting functionality to retry batches iteratively if a single message fails. Now with custom checkpoints, you have more control over handling failed messages.
