Building server-side rendering for React in AWS Lambda
This post demonstrates two ways you can implement and deploy a solution for server-side rendering in React applications, by using Lambda or Lambda@Edge. It also shows how to use open-source tools and AWS CDK to automate the building and deployment of such applications.
Building a Jenkins Pipeline with AWS SAM
This post is courtesy of Tarun Kumar Mall, SDE at AWS. This post shows how to set up a multi-stage pipeline on a Jenkins host for a serverless application, using the AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM). Overview This tutorial uses Jenkins Pipeline plugin. A commit to the main branch of the repository starts and […]
Operating Lambda: Anti-patterns in event-driven architectures – Part 3
This post discusses anti-pattern in event-driven architectures using Lambda. I show some of the issues when using monolithic Lambda functions or using custom code to orchestrate workflows. I explain how to avoid recursive architectures that cause loops and why you should avoid functions calling functions.
Building PHP Lambda functions with Docker container images
At re:Invent 2020, AWS announced that you can package and deploy AWS Lambda functions as container images. Packaging AWS Lambda functions as container images brings some notable benefits for developers running custom runtimes, such as PHP. This blog post explains those benefits and shows how to use the new container image support for Lambda functions […]
Operating Lambda: Design principles in event-driven architectures – Part 2
This post discusses the design principles that can help you develop well-architected serverless applications. I explain why using services instead of code can help improve your application’s agility and scalability. I also show how statelessness and function design also contribute to good application architecture.
Introducing message archiving and analytics for Amazon SNS
In this post, we show how SNS delivery to Kinesis Data Firehose enables you to integrate SNS with storage and analytics services. The example shows how to create an SNS subscription to use a Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream to store SNS messages in an S3 bucket.
Optimizing Lambda functions packaged as container images
AWS Lambda launched support for packaging and deploying functions as container images at re:Invent 2020. In this post you learn how to build container images that reduce image size as well as build, deployment, and update time. Lambda container images have unique characteristics to consider for optimization. This means that the techniques you use to […]
Operating Lambda: Understanding event-driven architecture – Part 1
Event-driven architectures have grown in popularity in modern organizations. This approach promotes the use of microservices, which can be designed as Lambda-based applications. This post discusses the benefits of the event-driven approach, along with the trade-offs involved.
Discovering sensitive data in AWS CodeCommit with AWS Lambda
This post demonstrates how you can implement a solution to discover secrets in commits to AWS CodeCommit repositories. It also defines different strategies to remediate this.
