Building an image searching solution with the AWS CDK
This post discusses a fully serverless architecture for searching images based on their contents. It shows how this architecture is decoupled and stateless by using S3 events, SQS messages, an EventBridge bus, and Amazon Aurora Serverless.
Operating Lambda: Debugging configurations – Part 2
This is the second post in a series on debugging Lambda-based applications. This post shows how to identify and resolve memory and CPU-bound functions, and how to understand and use timeouts effectively in production applications.
Accelerating workloads using parallelism in AWS Step Functions
In this blog post, you learn how to use AWS Step Functions and parallel processing to complete four hours of work in 60 seconds. You learn how to apply the pattern of decomposition to achieve improved scalability and manageability.
Building single binary file extensions for AWS Lambda with .NET
This post shows how to create, build, and package a C# Lambda extension as a single binary file. Explore the example code and other Lambda extensions examples in the GitHub repository.
Operating Lambda: Debugging code – Part 1
Debugging serverless applications is different to debugging single-server or monolithic applications. You must consider debugging across multiple invocations and services, and understanding the state of a distributed workload.
Using API destinations with Amazon EventBridge
The API destinations feature of EventBridge enables developers to integrate workloads with third-party applications using REST API calls. This provides an easier way to build decoupled, extensible applications that work with applications outside of the AWS Cloud.
Analyzing Freshdesk data using Amazon EventBridge and Amazon Athena
This post is written by Shashi Shankar, Application Architect, Shared Delivery Teams Freshdesk is an omnichannel customer service platform by Freshworks. It provides automation services to help speed up customer support processes. The Freshworks connector to Amazon EventBridge allows real time streaming of Freshdesk events with minimal configuration and setup. This integration provides real-time insights […]
Using AWS X-Ray tracing with Amazon EventBridge
X-Ray is a powerful tool for providing observability in serverless applications. With the launch of X-Ray passive tracing in EventBridge, this allows you to trace requests across distributed applications more easily.
Caching data and configuration settings with AWS Lambda extensions
This post is written by Hari Ohm Prasath Rajagopal, Senior Modernization Architect and Vamsi Vikash Ankam, Technical Account Manager In this post, I show how to build a flexible in-memory AWS Lambda caching layer using Lambda extensions. Lambda functions use REST API calls to access the data and configuration from the cache. This can reduce […]
Operating Lambda: Building a solid security foundation – Part 2
In this blog post, I explain how to secure workloads with public endpoints and the different authentication and authorization options available. I also show different approaches to exposing APIs publicly.
