This blog post describes several challenges common to orchestrating HPC workloads. I describe how Step Functions with AWS Batch can solve many of these challenges. I provide a project that contains several sample patterns and show how to deploy and test this in your account.

Welcome to the 17th edition of the AWS Serverless ICYMI (in case you missed it) quarterly recap. Every quarter, we share all the most recent product launches, feature enhancements, blog posts, webinars, Twitch live streams, and other interesting things that you might have missed! In case you missed our last ICYMI, check out what happened […]

In this post, you learned how to leverage an orchestration framework using Step Functions, Lambda, DynamoDB, and API Gateway to build an API backed by an open-source Drools rules engine, running on a container. Try this solution for your cloud native business rules orchestration use-case.

This post is written by Thomas Moore, Solutions Architect, Serverless. When using AWS Lambda to build serverless applications, customers often need to retrieve parameters from an external source at runtime. This allows you to share parameter values across multiple functions or microservices, providing a single source of truth for updates. A common example is retrieving […]

This blog post provides a step-by-step guide on securely invoking a cross-account Step Functions workflow from a central account using API Gateway as front end. This pattern can be extended to scale workflow executions across different Regions and accounts.

This blog post describes how to compose a nested Step Functions workflow, which asynchronously manages a custom service using the polling mechanism.

This blog post demonstrates how to implement a serverless image cataloging pipeline using Step Functions Workflow Studio. By orchestrating AWS API actions and flow states via drag and drop, you can process user-generated images. This example checks images for appropriateness and generates tags based on their content without custom application code.

This post is written by Sam Dengler, Principal Specialist Solutions Architect, and Dhiraj Mahapatro, Senior Specialist Solutions Architect. AWS Step Functions now supports over 200 AWS Service integrations via AWS SDK Integration. Developers want to build and test control flow logic for workflows using branching logic, error handling, and retries. This allows for precise workflow execution with deterministic […]

This post is written by Anitha Deenadayalan, Developer Specialist SA, DevAx Modern applications use microservices as an architectural and organizational approach to software development, where the application comprises small independent services that communicate over well-defined APIs. When multiple microservices collaborate to handle requests, one or more services may become unavailable or exhibit a high latency. […]
