This post is written by Veda Raman, SA Serverless, Casey Gerena, Sr Lab Engineer, Dan Fox, Principal Serverless SA. For real-time machine learning inferencing, customers often have several machine learning models trained for specific use-cases. For each inference request, the model must be chosen dynamically based on the input parameters. This blog post walks through the architecture […]

This blog post shows how to create a scalable difference checking tool for objects stored in S3 buckets. The Lambda function is invoked when S3 writes new versions of an object to the bucket. This example also shows how to remove earlier versions of object and define a set number of versions to retain.

It’s best practice to store the output of the Lambda function in a different bucket or AWS resource than the source bucket. In cases where you need to store the processed object in the same bucket, I show three different designs to help minimize the risk of recursive invocations.

A serverless face blurring service can provide a simpler way to process photos in workloads with large amounts of traffic. This post introduces an example application that blurs faces when images are saved in an S3 bucket. The S3 PutObject event invokes a Lambda function that uses Amazon Rekognition to detect faces and GraphicsMagick to process the images.

Part 2 of this blog post expands on some of the advanced topics around scaling Lambda in parallelized workloads. It explains how the asynchronous invocation mode of Lambda scales and different ways to scale the worker Lambda function.

This series of blog posts uses the AWS Well-Architected Tool with the Serverless Lens to help customers build and operate applications using best practices. In each post, I address the serverless-specific questions identified by the Serverless Lens along with the recommended best practices. See the introduction post for a table of contents and explanation of the example application. COST 1. How […]

This post shows how you can add scaling support for a game via automation. The example uses Amazon Rekognition to check images for unacceptable content and uses asynchronous architecture patterns with Step Functions and HTTP WebPush.

This blog post shows how you can use S3 Object Lambda with Amazon Translate to simplify dynamic content translation by using a data driven approach. With user-provided data as arguments, you can dynamically transform content in S3 and generate a new object.

This series uses the AWS Well-Architected Tool with the Serverless Lens to help customers build and operate applications using best practices. In each post, I address the nine serverless-specific questions identified by the Serverless Lens along with the recommended best practices.
