Orchestrating big data processing with AWS Step Functions Distributed Map
In this post, you’ll learn how to use AWS Step Functions Distributed Map to process Amazon Athena data manifest and Parquet files through a step-by-step demonstration.
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.
Processing Amazon S3 objects at scale with AWS Step Functions Distributed Map S3 prefix
In this post, you’ll learn how to process Amazon S3 objects at scale with the new AWS Step Functions Distributed Map S3 prefix and transformation capabilities.
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).
How to export to Amazon S3 Tables by using AWS Step Functions Distributed Map
In this post, we show how to use Step Functions Distributed Map to process Amazon S3 objects and export results to Amazon S3 Tables, creating a scalable and maintainable data processing pipeline.
Accessing private Amazon API Gateway endpoints through custom Amazon CloudFront distribution using VPC Origins
This post demonstrates how you can connect CloudFront with a Private REST API in Amazon REST API Gateway using a VPC origin.
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 […]
Streamlining AWS Serverless workflows: From AWS Lambda orchestration to AWS Step Functions
This blog post discusses the AWS Lambda as orchestrator anti-pattern and how to redesign serverless solutions using AWS Step Functions with native integrations.
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 […]
