Currently, the federation plugin on Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ connects to publicly available upstream brokers only. This post explains how to implement federation for Amazon MQ RabbitMQ Private Brokers using Network Load Balancers (NLB). The steps allow private brokers to communicate with each other to create a distributed system.

In this post, you will learn methods for network monitoring in AWS Lambda functions and how to apply them to your scenarios.

Introduced at re:Invent 2022, SnapStart is a performance optimization that makes it easier to build highly responsive and scalable applications using AWS Lambda. The largest contributor to startup latency (often referred to as cold-start time) is the time spent initializing a function. This post discusses ‘Priming’, a technique to further optimize startup times for AWS Lambda functions built using Java and Spring Boot.

This post explores the importance of distributed tracing for operating serverless applications and announces an important update to tracing behavior for AWS Lambda, which streamlines how trace context is handled in PassThrough mode. This blog post will demonstrate how this change gives you better control over how your Lambda functions handle tracing with AWS X-Ray through practical examples. Whether you’re building new applications or operating existing ones, this update helps you achieve more predictable and efficient tracing across your serverless applications built using Lambda.
