In this post, you will learn how to configure AWS Lambda Managed Instances by creating a Capacity Provider that defines your compute infrastructure, associating your Lambda function with that provider, and publishing a function version to provision the execution environments. We will conclude with production best practices including scaling strategies, thread safety, and observability for reliable performance.

This post walks through a fraud detection system built with durable functions. It also highlights the best practices that you can apply to your own production workflows, from approval processes to data pipelines to AI agent orchestration.

To support cloud applications that increasingly depend on rich contextual data, AWS is raising the maximum payload size from 256 KB to 1 MB for asynchronous AWS Lambda function invocations, Amazon Amazon SQS, and Amazon EventBridge. Developers can use this enhancement to build and maintain context-rich event-driven systems and reduce the need for complex workarounds such as data chunking or external large object storage.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides many mechanisms to optimize the price performance of workloads running on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), and the selection of the optimal infrastructure to run on can be one of the most impactful levers. When we started building the AWS Graviton processor, our goal was to optimize AWS Graviton […]

In this post, you will learn how the new Amazon API Gateway’s enhanced TLS security policies help you meet standards such as PCI DSS, Open Banking, and FIPS, while strengthening how your APIs handle TLS negotiation. This new capability increases your security posture without adding operational complexity, and provides you with a single, consistent way to standardize TLS configuration across your API Gateway infrastructure.

In this post, we will show how you can use the new portal feature to create customizable portals with enhanced security features in minutes, with APIs from multiple accounts, without managing any infrastructure.

AWS Lambda now supports Python 3.14 as both a managed runtime and container base image. Python is a popular language for building serverless applications. Developers can now take advantage of new features and enhancements when creating serverless applications on Lambda.

Today, AWS Lambda is promoting Rust support from Experimental to Generally Available. This means you can now use Rust to build business-critical serverless applications, backed by AWS Support and the Lambda availability SLA.

You can now develop AWS Lambda functions using Java 25 either as a managed runtime or using the container base image. This blog post highlights notable Java language features, Java Lambda runtime updates, and how you can use the new Java 25 runtime in your serverless applications.

You can use AWS Step Functions to orchestrate complex business problems. However, as workflows grow and evolve, you can find yourself grappling with monolithic state machines that become increasingly difficult to maintain and update. In this post, we show you strategies for decomposing large Step Functions workflows into modular, maintainable components.
