Using AWS Step Functions and Amazon DynamoDB for business rules orchestration
In this post, you learned how to leverage an orchestration framework using Step Functions, Lambda, DynamoDB, and API Gateway to build an API backed by an open-source Drools rules engine, running on a container. Try this solution for your cloud native business rules orchestration use-case.
Using larger ephemeral storage for AWS Lambda
Serverless developers can now configure the amount of temporary storage available in AWS Lambda functions. This blog post discusses common use cases and walks through an example application that uses larger temporary storage.
Choosing the right solution for AWS Lambda external parameters
This post is written by Thomas Moore, Solutions Architect, Serverless. When using AWS Lambda to build serverless applications, customers often need to retrieve parameters from an external source at runtime. This allows you to share parameter values across multiple functions or microservices, providing a single source of truth for updates. A common example is retrieving […]
Sending events to Amazon EventBridge from AWS Organizations accounts
This blog post shows how to use AWS Organizations to organize your application’s accounts by using organization units and how to centralize event management using Amazon EventBridge across accounts in the organization. A fully automated solution is provided to ensure that adding new accounts to the organization unit is efficient.
Running cross-account workflows with AWS Step Functions and Amazon API Gateway
This blog post provides a step-by-step guide on securely invoking a cross-account Step Functions workflow from a central account using API Gateway as front end. This pattern can be extended to scale workflow executions across different Regions and accounts.
Implementing mutual TLS for Java-based AWS Lambda functions
This post is written by Dhiraj Mahapatro, Senior Specialist SA, Serverless and Christian Mueller, Principal Solutions Architect Modern secure applications establish network connections to other services through HTTPS. This ensures that the application connects to the right party and encrypts the data before sending it over the network. You might not want unauthenticated users to […]

These events may include changes in state or an update, such as a user […]
Building serverless multi-Region WebSocket APIs
This blog post shows how to use the AWS serverless platform to build a multi-regional chat application over WebSockets. With the cross-Region event routing of EventBridge the architecture is resilient as well as extensible.
Composing AWS Step Functions to abstract polling of asynchronous services
This blog post describes how to compose a nested Step Functions workflow, which asynchronously manages a custom service using the polling mechanism.
Building a serverless image catalog with AWS Step Functions Workflow Studio
This blog post demonstrates how to implement a serverless image cataloging pipeline using Step Functions Workflow Studio. By orchestrating AWS API actions and flow states via drag and drop, you can process user-generated images. This example checks images for appropriateness and generates tags based on their content without custom application code.
