Orchestrating high performance computing with AWS Step Functions and AWS Batch
This blog post describes several challenges common to orchestrating HPC workloads. I describe how Step Functions with AWS Batch can solve many of these challenges. I provide a project that contains several sample patterns and show how to deploy and test this in your account.
Building an event-driven application with Amazon EventBridge
In event-driven architecture, services interact with each other through events. An event is something that happened in your application (for example, an item was put into a cart, a new order was placed). Events are JSON objects that tell you information about something that happened in your application. In event-driven architecture, each component of the […]
Introducing global endpoints for Amazon EventBridge
This blog shows how to create an EventBridge global endpoint to improve the availability and reliability of event ingestion of event-driven applications. This example shows how to use the PutEvents in the Python AWS SDK to publish events to a global endpoint.
Getting started with event-driven architecture
In modern application development, event-driven architecture is becoming more prominent because it can make building applications in the cloud easier. Event-driven architecture can allow you to decouple your services, which increases developer velocity, and can make it easier for you to debug applications. It also can help remove the bottleneck that occurs when features expand […]

Optimizing AWS Lambda function performance for Java
This post is written by Mark Sailes, Senior Specialist Solutions Architect. This blog post shows how to optimize the performance of AWS Lambda functions written in Java, without altering any of the function code. It shows how Java virtual machine (JVM) settings affect the startup time and performance. You also learn how you can benchmark […]
Using AWS Step Functions and Amazon DynamoDB for business rules orchestration
In this post, you learned how to leverage an orchestration framework using Step Functions, Lambda, DynamoDB, and API Gateway to build an API backed by an open-source Drools rules engine, running on a container. Try this solution for your cloud native business rules orchestration use-case.
Using larger ephemeral storage for AWS Lambda
Serverless developers can now configure the amount of temporary storage available in AWS Lambda functions. This blog post discusses common use cases and walks through an example application that uses larger temporary storage.
How to re-platform and modernize Java web applications on AWS
This post is written by: Bill Chan, Enterprise Solutions Architect According to a report from Grand View Research, “the global application server market size was valued at USD 15.84 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.2% from 2021 to 2028.” The report also suggests that […]
Choosing the right solution for AWS Lambda external parameters
This post is written by Thomas Moore, Solutions Architect, Serverless. When using AWS Lambda to build serverless applications, customers often need to retrieve parameters from an external source at runtime. This allows you to share parameter values across multiple functions or microservices, providing a single source of truth for updates. A common example is retrieving […]
