This post was written by By Kevin Tuil, AWS HPC consultant  Modeling fires is key for many industries, from the design of new buildings, defining evacuation procedures for trains, planes and ships, and even the spread of wildfires. Modeling these fires is complex. It involves both the need to model the three-dimensional unsteady turbulent flow […]

Queues, publish/subscribe services, and event buses are important parts of a resilient, well-architected serverless application. These are provided in AWS by SQS, SNS, and EventBridge.

This post was written by Christian Kniep, Senior Developer Advocate for HPC and AWS Batch.  For HPC workloads, visibility into the logs of jobs is important to debug a job which failed, but also to have insights into a running job and track its trajectory to influence the configuration of the next job or terminate […]

Lambda layers provide a convenient and effective way to package code libraries for sharing with Lambda functions in your account. Using layers can help reduce the size of uploaded archives and make it faster to deploy your code.

This post focuses on the business logic layer of the Happy Path application. I introduce Step Functions and show how you can use Amazon States Languages (ASL) to define state machines.

In this post, I introduce the Happy Path example web application. I show the main features of the application, enabling end-users to upload maps and photos to the backend application.

This post was contributed by Jarman Hauser, Jessie Xie, and Kinnar Kumar Sen. Folding@home (FAH) is a distributed computing project that uses computational modeling to simulate protein structure, stability, and shape (how it folds). These simulations help to advance drug discoveries and cures for diseases linked to protein dynamics within human cells. The FAH software crowdsources its distributed […]

Now Lambda supports Amazon MSK as an event source, you can invoke Lambda functions from messages in Kafka topics to integrate into your downstream serverless workflows.
