You can build and deploy functions using Python 3.10 using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, AWS SDK, AWS SAM, AWS CDK, or your choice of Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
Optimizing AWS Lambda extensions in C# and Rust
This post demonstrates techniques that can be used for running and profiling different types of Lambda extensions. This post focuses on Lambda extensions written in C# and Rust.
Using AWS Lambda SnapStart with infrastructure as code and CI/CD pipelines
This blog post shows the steps needed to leverage Lambda SnapStart, with examples for AWS CloudFormation, AWS SAM, and Terraform.
Managing sessions of anonymous users in WebSocket API-based applications
In this post, you learn how to keep track of user sessions when using WebSockets API and not lose the session context when the user reconnects again. Apply learnings from this example to improve your user experience when using WebSocket APIs for web-frontend and mobile applications, where internet connections may be unstable.
Building serverless Java applications with the AWS SAM CLI
This blog post shows how to build Java applications with the AWS SAM CLI. You learnt about the default build mechanisms, and how to customize the build behavior and abstract the build process inside a container environment. Visit the GitHub repository for the example code templates referenced in the examples.
Server-side rendering micro-frontends – UI composer and service discovery
This post looks at how to use the UI Composer and micro-frontends discoverability. Once this part is developed, it won’t need to change regularly. This represents the foundation for building server-side rendering micro-frontends using HTML-over-the-wire. There might be other approaches to follow for other frameworks such as Next.js due to the architectural implementation of the framework itself.
Uploading large objects to Amazon S3 using multipart upload and transfer acceleration
This blog shows how web and mobile applications can upload large objects to Amazon S3 in a secured and efficient manner when using presigned URLs and multipart upload.
Introducing new asynchronous invocation metrics for AWS Lambda
Using these new CloudWatch metrics, you can gain visibility into the processing of Lambda asynchronous invocations. This blog explained the new metrics AsyncEventsReceived, AsyncEventAge, and AsyncEventsDropped and how to use them to troubleshoot issues.
Securing CI/CD pipelines with AWS SAM Pipelines and OIDC
AWS SAM Pipeline support for OIDC is a new feature of AWS SAM CLI that simplifies the integration of CI/CD pipelines hosted outside of AWS. Using short-term credentials and scoping AWS actions to specific pipeline tasks reduces risk for your organization.
Chaos experiments using AWS Step Functions and AWS Fault Injection Simulator
This blog post describes how to use Step Functions to orchestrate Fault Injection Simulator (FIS) experiments for EC2 and ECS workloads. Using the workflow in this post as an example, you can build state machines for more AWS FIS experiments.
