Today, AWS is announcing support for read-only management events in Amazon EventBridge. This feature enables customers to build rich event-driven responses from any action taken on AWS infrastructure to detect security vulnerabilities or identify suspicious activity in near real-time. You can now gain insight into all activity across all your AWS accounts and respond to those events as is appropriate.

Advanced logging controls for Lambda give you greater control over logging. Use advanced logging controls to control your Lambda function’s log level and format, allowing you to search, query, and filter logs to troubleshoot issues more effectively.

This post is written by Pascal Vogel, Solutions Architect, and Philipp Klose, Global Solutions Architect. Event streaming with Apache Kafka has become an important element of modern data-oriented and event-driven architectures (EDAs), unlocking use cases such as real-time analytics of user behavior, anomaly and fraud detection, and Internet of Things event processing. Stream producers and consumers […]

This blog shows how to use these new metrics to improve the visibility of event flows in your event-driven applications. It helps you monitor the events more effectively, from invocation until the delivery to the target. This improves observability by proactively alerting on key metrics.

With this launch, you can now build your Lambda functions using Amazon Linux 2023 as the custom runtime or use it as the base image to run your container-based Lambda functions.

The improved Lambda SQS event source polling scale-up capability enables up to five times faster scale-up performance for spiky event-driven workloads using SQS queues, at no additional cost.
