This series of blog posts uses the AWS Well-Architected Tool with the Serverless Lens to help customers build and operate applications using best practices. In each post, I address the serverless-specific questions identified by the Serverless Lens along with the recommended best practices. See the introduction post for a table of contents and explanation of the example application. PERF 1. Optimizing […]

This post shows how you can evolve a workload using hexagonal architecture. It explains how to add new functionality, change underlying infrastructure, or port the code base between different compute solutions. The main characteristics enabling this are loose coupling and strong encapsulation.

This post was written by Diggory Briercliffe, Senior IoT Architect. When implementing a task queue, you can use Amazon SQS standard or FIFO (First-In-First-Out) queue types. Both queue types give priority to tasks created earlier over tasks that are created later. However, there are use cases where you need a LIFO (Last-In-First-Out) queue. This post […]
