Today, we’re excited to announce new capabilities that further simplify the local testing experience for Lambda functions and serverless applications through integration with LocalStack, an AWS Partner, in the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code. In this post, we will show you how you can enhance your local testing experience for serverless applications with LocalStack using AWS Toolkit.

Today, we announce the availability of a Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) for Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023), developed through collaboration between Amazon Web Services (AWS) and the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). The STIG guidelines are important for U.S Department of Defense (DOD) and Federal customers needing strict security compliance derived from the National Institute […]

Delightful developer experience is an important part of building serverless applications efficiently, whether you’re creating an automation script or developing a complex enterprise application. While AWS Lambda has transformed modern application development in the cloud with its serverless computing model, developers spend significant time working in their local environments. They rely on familiar IDEs, debugging […]

Modern applications increasingly rely on Serverless technologies such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) Lambda to provide scalability, cost efficiency, and agility. The Serverless Applications Lens for the AWS Well-Architected Framework focuses on how to design, deploy, and architect your Serverless applications to overcome some of these challenges. Powertools for AWS Lambda is a developer toolkit that […]

Today, AWS introduced Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) fair queues, a new feature that mitigates noisy neighbor impact in multi-tenant systems. With fair queues, your applications become more resilient and easier to operate, reducing operational overhead while improving quality of service for your customers. In distributed architectures, message queues have become the backbone of […]

Today, Amazon API Gateway announces support for dynamic routing rules for custom domain names in all supported AWS Regions. This new capability enables you to route API requests based on HTTP header values, either independently or in combination with URL paths. In this post, you will learn how to use this new capability to implement routing strategies such as API versioning and gradual rollouts without modifying your API endpoints.

Today, AWS announces the open-source AWS Serverless Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, a tool that combines the power of AI assistance with serverless expertise to enhance how developers build modern applications. The Serverless MCP Server provides contextual guidance specific to serverless development, helping developers make informed decisions about architecture, implementation, and deployment. This post describes how the Serverless MCP Server works with AI coding assistants to streamline serverless development.

Enterprise cloud environments are growing increasingly complex as they scale, with organizations managing hundreds to thousands of Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounts across multiple business units and AWS Regions. Organizations need efficient ways to collect, transport, and analyze activity data for threat detection and compliance monitoring. In this post, you will learn to use AWS CloudTrail and Amazon EventBridge for real-time cloud activity monitoring and automated response.

This blog demonstrates how to leverage Amazon S3 presigned URLs to allow your users to securely upload files to S3 without requiring explicit permissions in the AWS Account. This blog post specifically focuses on the security ramifications of using S3 presigned URLs, and explains mitigation steps that serverless developers can take to improve the security of their systems using S3 presigned URLs.

Amazon DCV has evolved as a powerful remote display protocol, enabling secure high-performance remote desktop access and application streaming. This blog talks about how DCV remote display capabilities are now integrated with Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023).
