Users usually package their function code as container images when using machine learning (ML) models that are larger than 250 MB, which is the Lambda deployment package size limit for zip files. In this post, we demonstrate an approach that downloads ML models directly from Amazon S3 into your function’s memory so that you can continue packaging your function code using zip files.

In this post, we show how to use Step Functions Distributed Map to process Amazon S3 objects and export results to Amazon S3 Tables, creating a scalable and maintainable data processing pipeline.

This post demonstrates how you can connect CloudFront with a Private REST API in Amazon REST API Gateway using a VPC origin.

This post presents architectural best practices for building resilient serverless applications, demonstrated through a multi-Region serverless authorizer implementation.

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.

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Serverless applications commonly use infrastructure as code (IaC) frameworks to define and manage their cloud resources. Teams choose different IaC tools based on their skills, existing tooling, or compliance needs. As applications grow, the need to shift between IaC formats may arise to adopt new features or align with evolving standards. Developers are rapidly adopting AI-powered […]
