Amazon Web Services (AWS) has been recognized as a Leader in The Forrester Wave: Serverless Development Platforms, Q2 2025, achieving the highest ranking in both the Current Offering and Strategy categories.

AWS Lambda now provides native support for Apache Avro and Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) formatted events with Apache Kafka event source mapping (ESM) when using Provisioned Mode. The support allows you to validate your schema with popular schema registries. This allows you to use and filter the more efficient binary event formats and share data using […]

Today, Amazon API Gateway announces support for dynamic routing rules for custom domain names in all supported AWS Regions. This new capability enables you to route API requests based on HTTP header values, either independently or in combination with URL paths. In this post, you will learn how to use this new capability to implement routing strategies such as API versioning and gradual rollouts without modifying your API endpoints.

Today, AWS announces the open-source AWS Serverless Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, a tool that combines the power of AI assistance with serverless expertise to enhance how developers build modern applications. The Serverless MCP Server provides contextual guidance specific to serverless development, helping developers make informed decisions about architecture, implementation, and deployment. This post describes how the Serverless MCP Server works with AI coding assistants to streamline serverless development.

Enterprise cloud environments are growing increasingly complex as they scale, with organizations managing hundreds to thousands of Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounts across multiple business units and AWS Regions. Organizations need efficient ways to collect, transport, and analyze activity data for threat detection and compliance monitoring. In this post, you will learn to use AWS CloudTrail and Amazon EventBridge for real-time cloud activity monitoring and automated response.

Amazon API Gateway can provide a single-entry point for all incoming API requests for Hybrid Workloads. It provides a layer of abstraction between the API consumers and the backend services, allowing for centralized control. Routing all traffic through the API Gateway lets builders centrally enforce authentication, authorization, rate limiting, and other security features. This blog post describes how to configure API Gateway as an entry point to your on-premises resources.

This blog demonstrates how to leverage Amazon S3 presigned URLs to allow your users to securely upload files to S3 without requiring explicit permissions in the AWS Account. This blog post specifically focuses on the security ramifications of using S3 presigned URLs, and explains mitigation steps that serverless developers can take to improve the security of their systems using S3 presigned URLs.

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

Effective logging is an important part of an observability strategy when building serverless applications using AWS Lambda. Lambda automatically captures and sends logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs. This allows you to focus on building application logic rather than setting up logging infrastructure and allows operators to troubleshoot failures and performance issues more easily. On May […]

In this post, you learn how to use AWS serverless technologies, such as Amazon EventBridge and AWS Lambda, to build an integration between Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs) and online ordering and food delivery aggregators. These aggregators have taken off as an option to QSRs to expand their consumer base, enabling them with delivery options to help grow their businesses.
