Optimizing nested JSON array processing using AWS Step Functions Distributed Map

In this post, we explore how to optimize processing array data embedded within complex JSON structures using AWS Step Functions Distributed Map. You’ll learn how to use ItemsPointer to reduce the complexity of your state machine definitions, create more flexible workflow designs, and streamline your data processing pipelines—all without writing additional transformation code or AWS Lambda functions.

Breaking down monolith workflows: Modularizing AWS Step Functions workflows

You can use AWS Step Functions to orchestrate complex business problems. However, as workflows grow and evolve, you can find yourself grappling with monolithic state machines that become increasingly difficult to maintain and update. In this post, we show you strategies for decomposing large Step Functions workflows into modular, maintainable components.

Zero downtime blue/green deployments with Amazon API Gateway

In this post, you learn how to implement blue/green deployments by using Amazon API Gateway for your APIs. For this post, we use AWS Lambda functions on the backend. However, you can follow the same strategy for other backend implementations of the APIs. All the required infrastructure is deployed by using AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM).

Effectively building AI agents on AWS Serverless

Imagine an AI assistant that doesn’t just respond to prompts – it reasons through goals, acts, and integrates with real-time systems. This is the promise of agentic AI. According to Gartner, by 2028 over 33% of enterprise applications will embed agentic capabilities – up from less than 1% today. While early generative AI efforts focused […]

Modernizing SOAP applications using Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda

This post demonstrates how you can modernize legacy SOAP applications using Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda to create bidirectional proxy architectures that enable integration between SOAP and REST systems without disrupting existing business operations. Many organizations today face the challenge of maintaining critical business systems that were built decades ago. These legacy applications power […]
