Extending PowerShell on AWS Lambda with other services
This post expands on the functionality introduced with the PowerShell custom runtime for AWS Lambda. The previous blog explains how the custom runtime approach makes it easier to run Lambda functions written in PowerShell. You can add additional functionality to your PowerShell serverless applications by importing PowerShell modules, which are shareable packages of code. Build your own […]
Read MoreIntroducing the PowerShell custom runtime for AWS Lambda
The new PowerShell custom runtime for AWS Lambda makes it even easier to run Lambda functions written in PowerShell to process events. Using this runtime, you can run native PowerShell code in Lambda without having to compile code, which simplifies deployment and testing. You can also now view PowerShell code in the AWS Management Console, […]
Read MoreBuilding a serverless image catalog with AWS Step Functions Workflow Studio
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 written by Dan Fox, Principal Specialist Solutions Architect and Roman Boiko, Senior Specialist Solutions Architect The AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) CLI provides developers with a local tool for managing serverless applications on AWS. This command line tool allows developers to initialize and configure applications, build and test locally, and deploy to […]
Read MoreUsing the circuit breaker pattern with AWS Step Functions and Amazon DynamoDB
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. […]

Read MoreModernizing deployments with container images in AWS Lambda
This post is written by Joseph Keating, AWS Modernization Architect, and Virginia Chu, Sr. DevSecOps Architect. Container image support for AWS Lambda enables developers to package function code and dependencies using familiar patterns and tools. With this pattern, developers use standard tools like Docker to package their functions as container images and deploy them to […]
Read MoreIntroducing cross-account Amazon ECR access for AWS Lambda
This post is written by Brian Zambrano, Enterprise Solutions Architect and Indranil Banerjee, Senior Solution Architect. In December 2020, AWS announced support for packaging AWS Lambda functions using container images. Customers use the container image packaging format for workloads like machine learning inference made possible by the 10 GB container size increase and familiar container […]
Read MoreAccelerating serverless development with AWS SAM Accelerate
Building a serverless application changes the way developers think about testing their code. Previously, developers would emulate the complete infrastructure locally and only commit code ready for testing. However, with serverless, local emulation can be more complex. In this post, I show you how to bypass most local emulation by testing serverless applications in the […]
