Introduction Organizations across financial services and other industries have business processes that require executing the same business logic across billions of records for their machine learning and compliance needs. Many organizations rely on internal custom orchestration systems or big data frameworks to coordinate the parallel processing of their business logic across many parallel compute nodes. […]

Introduction In microservices architectures, teams often build and manage internal applications that they expose as private API endpoints and publicly expose those endpoints through a centralized API gateway where security protections are centrally managed. These API endpoints allow both internal and external users to leverage the functionality of those applications. The separation of concerns between […]

Introduction WebSocket is a common communication protocol used in web applications to facilitate real-time bi-directional data exchange between client and server. However, when the server has to maintain a direct connection with the client, it can limit the server’s ability to scale down when there are long-running clients. This scale down can occur when nodes […]

Introduction In this modern cloud era, customers automatically build, test, and deploy the new version of their application multiple times a day. This common scenario in the software development life cycle creates faster delivery of features, bug fixes, and other updates to end users. One key aspect of continuous deployment is semantic versioning, a system […]

Introduction Today, AWS announces the general availability of Amazon VPC Lattice a new feature of Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) that gives you a consistent way to connect, secure, and monitor communication between your services. As part of the launch of Amazon VPC Lattice, we’re excited to introduce the AWS Gateway API controller, an […]

Introduction Event-driven computing is a common pattern in modern application development with microservices, which is a great fit for building resilient and scalable software in AWS. Event-driven computing needs to be push-based with event-driven applications that are run on-demand when an event triggers the functional workflow. Tools that help you minimize resource usage and reduce […]

Since 2015, customers have been using Amazon API Gateway to provide scalable and secure entry points for their API services. As customers adopt Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) to orchestrate their services, they have asked us how they can use API Gateway to expose their microservices running in Kubernetes. This post shows you how […]

This is my first post on AWS Container Blog since I joined AWS and I could not be more excited to talk about two technologies now working together: Serverless and Kubernetes, or more specifically AWS Step Functions and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service. In my previous role, I envisioned to build a web application that would […]
