Introducing mutual TLS authentication for Amazon MSK as an event source
This post is written by Uma Ramadoss, Senior Specialist Solutions Architect, Integration. Today, AWS Lambda is introducing mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication for Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) and self-managed Kafka as an event source. Many customers use Amazon MSK for streaming data from multiple producers. Multiple subscribers can then consume the streaming […]

Today, we are announcing the ability for AWS customers to publish messages in batch […]
Understanding how AWS Lambda scales with Amazon SQS standard queues
This post explores Lambda’s scaling behavior when subscribed to SQS standard queues. It walks through several ways to scale faster and maximize Lambda throughput when needed. This includes increasing the memory allocation for the Lambda function, increasing batch size, catching errors, and making configuration changes.
Token-based authentication for iOS applications with Amazon SNS
This post is co-written by Karen Hong, Software Development Engineer, AWS Messaging. To use Amazon SNS to send mobile push notifications, you must provide a set of credentials for connecting to the supported push notification service (see prerequisites for push). For the Apple Push Notification service (APNs), SNS now supports using token-based authentication (.p8), in […]
Creating static custom domain endpoints with Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ
In this post, you build a highly available Amazon MQ broker in a private subnet. You layer security by placing the brokers behind a highly scalable Network Load Balancer. You configure routing from a single custom subdomain URL to multiple brokers with a built-in health check.
Building dynamic Amazon SNS subscriptions for auto scaling container workloads
This blog shows an event driven approach to handling dynamic SNS subscription requirements. It relies on the ECS service events to trigger appropriate Lambda functions. These create the subscription queue, subscribe it to a topic, and delete it once the container instance is terminated.
Creating a serverless face blurring service for photos in Amazon S3
A serverless face blurring service can provide a simpler way to process photos in workloads with large amounts of traffic. This post introduces an example application that blurs faces when images are saved in an S3 bucket. The S3 PutObject event invokes a Lambda function that uses Amazon Rekognition to detect faces and GraphicsMagick to process the images.
Building well-architected serverless applications: Optimizing application costs
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. COST 1. How […]
Sending mobile push notifications and managing device tokens with serverless applications
This blog shows how to deploy a serverless solution for validating and managing SNS platform endpoints and tokens. To publish push notifications successfully, use SNS to check the endpoint attribute and ensure it is mapped to the correct token and the endpoint is enabled.
