Improving throughput of serverless streaming workloads for Kafka

Event-driven applications often need to process data in real-time. When you use AWS Lambda to process records from Apache Kafka topics, you frequently encounter two typical requirements: you need to process very high volumes of records in close to real-time, and you want your consumers to have the ability to scale rapidly to handle traffic spikes. Achieving both necessitates understanding how Lambda consumes Kafka streams, where the potential bottlenecks are, and how to optimize configurations for high throughput and best performance.

Introducing AWS Lambda event source mapping tools in the AWS Serverless MCP Server

Modern serverless applications increasingly rely on event-driven architectures, where AWS Lambda functions process events from various sources like Amazon Kinesis, Amazon DynamoDB Streams, Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS), Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK), and self-managed Apache Kafka. Although event source mappings (ESM) offer a powerful mechanism for integrating AWS Lambda with […]

Introducing AWS Lambda native support for Avro and Protobuf formatted Apache Kafka events

AWS Lambda now provides native support for Apache Avro and Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) formatted events with Apache Kafka event source mapping (ESM) when using Provisioned Mode. The support allows you to validate your schema with popular schema registries. This allows you to use and filter the more efficient binary event formats and share data using […]
