Enhance the local testing experience for serverless applications with LocalStack
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.
Tuning guide for AMD Amazon EC2 instances
Amazon EC2 offers AMD-based instances built on multiple generations of AMD EPYC processors. This post focuses on optimization strategies for the 3rd and 4th generation families, which provide enhanced capabilities for compute and memory-intensive workloads.
Accessing private Amazon API Gateway endpoints through custom Amazon CloudFront distribution using VPC Origins
This post demonstrates how you can connect CloudFront with a Private REST API in Amazon REST API Gateway using a VPC origin.
Building resilient multi-Region Serverless applications on AWS
This post presents architectural best practices for building resilient serverless applications, demonstrated through a multi-Region serverless authorizer implementation.
Serverless generative AI architectural patterns – Part 2
This post explores two complementary approaches for non-real-time scenarios: buffered asynchronous processing for time-intensive individual requests, and batch processing for scheduled or event-driven workflows.
Serverless generative AI architectural patterns – Part 1
This two-part series explores the different architectural patterns, best practices, code implementations, and design considerations essential for successfully integrating generative AI solutions into both new and existing applications. In this post, we focus on patterns applicable for architecting real-time generative AI applications.
Under the hood: how AWS Lambda SnapStart optimizes function startup latency
AWS Lambda cold start latency can impact performance for latency-sensitive applications, with function initialization being the primary contributor to startup delays. Lambda SnapStart addresses this challenge by reducing cold start times from several seconds to sub-second performance for Java, Python, and .NET runtimes with minimal code changes. This post explains SnapStart’s underlying mechanisms and provides performance optimization recommendations for applications using this feature.
Effectively building AI agents on AWS Serverless
Imagine an AI assistant that doesn’t just respond to prompts – it reasons through goals, acts, and integrates with real-time systems. This is the promise of agentic AI. According to Gartner, by 2028 over 33% of enterprise applications will embed agentic capabilities – up from less than 1% today. While early generative AI efforts focused […]
Implementing message prioritization with quorum queues on Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ
Quorum queues are now available on Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ from version 3.13. Quorum queues are a replicated First-In, First-Out (FIFO) queue type that uses the Raft consensus algorithm to maintain data consistency. Quorum queues on RabbitMQ version 3.13 lack one key feature compared to classic queues: message prioritization. However, RabbitMQ version 4.0 introduced support […]
Building resilient multi-tenant systems with Amazon SQS fair queues
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 […]
