This blog post demonstrates a solution that connects Salesforce to an event-driven application that uses EventBridge and Amazon AppFlow to route events. The application uses events from Salesforce as a starting point for a custom processing workflow in a Lambda function.

Over the last year, I have been talking about “storage first” serverless patterns. With these patterns, data is stored persistently before any business logic is applied. The advantage of this pattern is increased application resiliency. By persisting the data before processing, the original data is still available, if or when errors occur. Common pattern for […]

This post focuses on the business logic layer of the Happy Path application. I introduce Step Functions and show how you can use Amazon States Languages (ASL) to define state machines.

In this post, I introduce the Happy Path example web application. I show the main features of the application, enabling end-users to upload maps and photos to the backend application.

Now Lambda supports Amazon MSK as an event source, you can invoke Lambda functions from messages in Kafka topics to integrate into your downstream serverless workflows.

This post is contributed by Jerome Van Der Linden, AWS Solutions Architect Concurrency of an AWS Lambda function is the number of requests it can handle at any given time. This metric is the average number of requests per second multiplied by the average duration in seconds. For example, if a Lambda function takes an […]

In this post, you learn how the new CDK construct library for the serverless LAMP stack is helping developers build serverless PHP applications. The AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) is an open source software development framework for defining cloud application resources in code. It allows developers to define their infrastructure in familiar programming languages […]

You can now use the latest version of any of the AWS Lambda runtimes on Amazon Linux 2 (AL2). End-of-life of standard support for Amazon Linux (AL1 for simplicity in this post) is coming in December 2020. As a result, AWS is providing a path for customers to migrate current and future workloads to AL2-supported […]

Developers tell us they want to know how to easily build and manage their serverless applications. In 2017 AWS announced AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) to help with just that. To help developers learn more about SAM, I created a weekly Twitch series called Sessions with SAM. Each session focuses on a specific serverless task […]

You can now control the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) settings for your AWS Lambda functions using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) condition keys. IAM condition keys enable you to further refine the conditions under which an IAM policy statement applies. You can use the new condition keys in IAM policies when granting permissions […]
