This post focuses on the business logic layer of the Happy Path application. I introduce Step Functions and show how you can use Amazon States Languages (ASL) to define state machines.

In this post, I introduce the Happy Path example web application. I show the main features of the application, enabling end-users to upload maps and photos to the backend application.

This post was contributed by Jarman Hauser, Jessie Xie, and Kinnar Kumar Sen. Folding@home (FAH) is a distributed computing project that uses computational modeling to simulate protein structure, stability, and shape (how it folds). These simulations help to advance drug discoveries and cures for diseases linked to protein dynamics within human cells. The FAH software crowdsources its distributed […]

Now Lambda supports Amazon MSK as an event source, you can invoke Lambda functions from messages in Kafka topics to integrate into your downstream serverless workflows.

This post is contributed by Jerome Van Der Linden, AWS Solutions Architect Concurrency of an AWS Lambda function is the number of requests it can handle at any given time. This metric is the average number of requests per second multiplied by the average duration in seconds. For example, if a Lambda function takes an […]

In this post, you learn how the new CDK construct library for the serverless LAMP stack is helping developers build serverless PHP applications. The AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) is an open source software development framework for defining cloud application resources in code. It allows developers to define their infrastructure in familiar programming languages […]

You can now use the latest version of any of the AWS Lambda runtimes on Amazon Linux 2 (AL2). End-of-life of standard support for Amazon Linux (AL1 for simplicity in this post) is coming in December 2020. As a result, AWS is providing a path for customers to migrate current and future workloads to AL2-supported […]

Developers tell us they want to know how to easily build and manage their serverless applications. In 2017 AWS announced AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) to help with just that. To help developers learn more about SAM, I created a weekly Twitch series called Sessions with SAM. Each session focuses on a specific serverless task […]

You can now control the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) settings for your AWS Lambda functions using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) condition keys. IAM condition keys enable you to further refine the conditions under which an IAM policy statement applies. You can use the new condition keys in IAM policies when granting permissions […]

This guide demonstrates an example solution for collecting, tracking, and sharing pulse oximetry data for multiple users. It’s built using AWS serverless technologies, enabling reliable scalability and security. The frontend application is written in VueJS and uses the Amplify Framework. It takes oxygen saturation measurements as manual input or a BerryMed pulse oximeter connected to […]
