Having visibility on your AWS resources is the key to operating and growing successfully. In this first part of this series on serverless governance, I describe how you can get this visibility by using tags to organize and group your resources, and ease the search and management of related resources.

This post is written by Brad Kirby, Principal Outposts Specialist, and Chris Lunsford, Senior Outposts SA.  Customers are modernizing applications by deconstructing monolithic architectures and migrating application components into container–based, service-oriented, and microservices architectures. Modern applications improve scalability, reliability, and development efficiency by allowing services to be owned by smaller, more focused teams. This post […]

This post shows an architecture to share your business data with your trading partners using API Gateway, AWS Transfer for SFTP, Lambda, and Step Functions. This architecture enables organizations to quickly on-board partners, build event-driven pipelines, and streamline business processes.

Welcome to the 15th edition of the AWS Serverless ICYMI (in case you missed it) quarterly recap. Every quarter, we share all of the most recent product launches, feature enhancements, blog posts, webinars, Twitch live streams, and other interesting things that you might have missed!

This post shows how to use Step Functions, Lambda, EventBridge, S3, API Gateway HTTP APIs, and Amazon SQS to build a serverless API poller. I show how you can deploy a sample solution, process sample payload, and store it to S3.

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.

Schema Management is a non-trivial challenge in federated GQL systems. The highest risk to your system availability comes with the potential of introducing breaking schema change by one of the graphlets. Your system cannot serve any requests after that. There is the problem of the delayed feedback loop for the engineers working on schema changes and the impact of schema composition during runtime on the service latency.

Testing is an essential step in the software development lifecycle. Through the different types of tests, you validate user experience, performance, and detect bugs in your code. Features should not be considered done until all of the corresponding tests are written. The distributed nature of serverless architectures separates your application logic from other concerns like […]

A single, highly discoverable, and well-documented backend endpoint enabled our clients to experiment with the data available in the graph. We were able to clean up the backend API layer, introduce clear ownership boundaries, and give our client powerful tools to speed up their development cycle.
