Modernizing SOAP applications using Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda
This post demonstrates how you can modernize legacy SOAP applications using Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda to create bidirectional proxy architectures that enable integration between SOAP and REST systems without disrupting existing business operations. Many organizations today face the challenge of maintaining critical business systems that were built decades ago. These legacy applications power […]
Orchestrating document processing with AWS AppSync Events and Amazon Bedrock
Many organizations implement intelligent document processing pipelines in order to extract meaningful insights from an increasing volume of unstructured content (such as insurance claims, loan applications and more). Traditionally, these pipelines require significant engineering efforts, as the implementation often involves using several machine learning (ML) models and orchestrating complex workflows. As organizations integrate these pipelines […]

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has been recognized as a Leader in The Forrester Wave: Serverless Development Platforms, Q2 2025, achieving the highest ranking in both the Current Offering and Strategy categories.
Introducing AWS Lambda native support for Avro and Protobuf formatted Apache Kafka events
AWS Lambda now provides native support for Apache Avro and Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) formatted events with Apache Kafka event source mapping (ESM) when using Provisioned Mode. The support allows you to validate your schema with popular schema registries. This allows you to use and filter the more efficient binary event formats and share data using […]
Running and optimizing small language models on-premises and at the edge
As you move your generative AI implementations from prototype to production, you may discover the need to run foundation models (FMs) on-premises or at the edge to address data residency, information security (InfoSec) policy, or low latency requirements. To address users’ data residency, latency, and InfoSec needs, this post provides guidance on deploying generative AI FMs into AWS Local Zones and AWS Outposts.
Networking of Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ event source mapping for AWS Lambda
Event-driven architectures with message brokers need careful attention to security best practices. Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ combined with AWS Lambda enables serverless event processing. However, implementing defense in depth and least privilege principles necessitates a clear understanding of networking requirements. This is particularly important when working with different subnet types and their impact on service […]
Amazon Linux 2023 achieves FIPS 140-3 validation
AWS announced that Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023) has achieved Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-3 Level 1 validation of our cryptographic modules, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to providing secure, compliant operating system options for regulated workloads. FIPS certified modules are particularly important for US and Canadian government workloads, healthcare applications requiring HIPAA […]
Validating event payload with Powertools for AWS Lambda (TypeScript)
In this post, learn how the new Powertools for AWS Lambda (TypeScript) Parser utility can help you validate payloads easily and make your Lambda function more resilient. Validating input payloads is an important aspect of building secure and reliable applications. This ensures that data that an application receives can gracefully handle unexpected or malicious inputs […]
Optimizing ODCR usage through AI-powered capacity insights
Efficient resource management is crucial for organizations seeking to optimize cloud costs while making sure of seamless access to compute capacity. Amazon EC2 On-Demand Capacity Reservations (ODCRs) provide the flexibility to reserve compute capacity within a specific Availability Zone (AZ) for any duration. In this post, we demonstrate how Amazon Bedrock Agents can help organizations gain actionable insights into ODCR usage across their AWS environment.
