Introducing self-managed Amazon S3 buckets for AWS Lambda function code

If you manage Lambda functions at scale, you’ve likely hit the 75 GB code storage limit or explained to your security team why deployment artifacts live in an S3 bucket you don’t control. Today, we’re announcing self-managed Amazon S3 buckets for AWS Lambda deployment packages. Lambda reads your code directly from your bucket, eliminating quota […]

Eliminating Java cold starts with AWS Lambda Managed Instances

A single cold start can push your Java Lambda function’s response time from milliseconds to seconds, enough to violate your p99 SLA, timeout a downstream service, and page your on-call. The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) performs best in long-running processes. Its Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler progressively optimizes code over thousands of invocations. Standard serverless execution environments […]

Announcing Lambda MicroVMs: serverless compute environments with VM-level isolation and near-instant startup

We recently announced the launch of AWS Lambda MicroVMs, a new serverless compute primitive that provides VM-level isolation, near-instant startup performance, and state retention. You can now give each user or job their own execution environment to securely run just-in-time code – either user or AI generated – without managing virtualization infrastructure or choosing between […]

Maximize Amazon EC2 Capacity Reservations with Capacity Manager data exports

In our previous post, we introduced Amazon EC2 Capacity Manager and its data export capability. Amazon EC2 Capacity Manager provides centralized visibility into your Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) capacity usage across all accounts and Regions in your organization. It tracks capacity usage for three types of EC2 capacity: On-Demand instances, Spot instances, and […]

Modernizing Lambda + S3 workloads with Amazon S3 Files

Learn how Amazon S3 Files simplifies Lambda functions by eliminating transfer code and /tmp constraints. See three modernization patterns with code examples for image processing, ETL pipelines, and multi-agent AI workloads. AWS Lambda functions that interact with Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) typically follow a familiar pattern: download an object to /tmp, process it […]

Simulating Amazon EC2 EBS burst credits before downsizing an instance

When downsizing an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance, teams often evaluate CPU and memory utilization but overlook the instance’s Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) performance limits for throughput and IOPS. Smaller Amazon EBS-optimized instance types have lower baselines and rely on burst credits to handle peaks. If your workload’s I/O pattern drains […]

This post is written by Paul Tran, Senior Specialist SA; Asif Mujawar, Specialist SA Leader; Abdullatif AlRashdan, Specialist SA; and Shivagami Gugan, Enterprise Technologist. Technology Innovation Institute (TII) has developed Falcon 2 11B foundation model (FM), a next-generation AI model that can be now deployed on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) c7i instances, which support […]

Sending and receiving CloudEvents with Amazon EventBridge

Amazon EventBridge helps developers build event-driven architectures (EDA) by connecting loosely coupled publishers and consumers using event routing, filtering, and transformation. CloudEvents is an open-source specification for describing event data in a common way. Developers can publish CloudEvents directly to EventBridge, filter and route them, and use input transformers and API Destinations to send CloudEvents […]

Building a serverless pipeline to deliver reliable messaging

This post is written by Jeff Harman, Senior Prototyping Architect, Vaibhav Shah, Senior Solutions Architect and Erik Olsen, Senior Technical Account Manager. Many industries are required to provide audit trails for decision and transactional systems. AI assisted decision making requires monitoring the full inputs to the decision system in near real time to prevent fraud, […]
