Sample ATM application architecture

Integrating Amazon EventBridge into your serverless applications

Event-driven architecture enables developers to create decoupled services across applications. When combined with the range of managed services available in AWS, this approach can make applications highly scalable and flexible, with minimal maintenance. Many services in the AWS Cloud produce events, including integrated software as a service (SaaS) applications. Your custom applications can also produce […]

New AWS Lambda controls for stream processing and asynchronous invocations

Today AWS Lambda is introducing new controls for asynchronous and stream processing invocations. These new features allow you to customize responses to Lambda function errors and build more resilient event-driven and stream-processing applications. Stream processing function invocations When processing data from event sources such as Amazon Kinesis Data Streams, and Amazon DynamoDB Streams, Lambda reads […]

Investigating spikes in AWS Lambda function concurrency

This post is courtesy of Ian Carlson, Principal Solutions Architect – AWS As mentioned in an earlier post, a key benefit of serverless applications is the ease with which they can scale to meet traffic demands or requests. AWS Lambda is at the core of this platform. Although this flexibility is hugely beneficial for our customers, sometimes […]

Techniques and Tools for Better Serverless API Logging with Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda

Ryan Green @ryangtweets Software Development Engineer, API Gateway Developing, testing, and operating Serverless APIs using Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda can be made much easier with built-in support for Amazon CloudWatch Logs. In Lambda functions, you can use log statements to send log events to CloudWatch log streams, and API Gateway automatically submits log […]
