Over the last year, I have been talking about “storage first” serverless patterns. With these patterns, data is stored persistently before any business logic is applied. The advantage of this pattern is increased application resiliency. By persisting the data before processing, the original data is still available, if or when errors occur. Common pattern for […]

This post focuses on the business logic layer of the Happy Path application. I introduce Step Functions and show how you can use Amazon States Languages (ASL) to define state machines.

In this post, I introduce the Happy Path example web application. I show the main features of the application, enabling end-users to upload maps and photos to the backend application.

This post was contributed by Jarman Hauser, Jessie Xie, and Kinnar Kumar Sen. Folding@home (FAH) is a distributed computing project that uses computational modeling to simulate protein structure, stability, and shape (how it folds). These simulations help to advance drug discoveries and cures for diseases linked to protein dynamics within human cells. The FAH software crowdsources its distributed […]

Now Lambda supports Amazon MSK as an event source, you can invoke Lambda functions from messages in Kafka topics to integrate into your downstream serverless workflows.

This post is contributed by Jerome Van Der Linden, AWS Solutions Architect Concurrency of an AWS Lambda function is the number of requests it can handle at any given time. This metric is the average number of requests per second multiplied by the average duration in seconds. For example, if a Lambda function takes an […]
