In February 2024, AWS SDK for .NET team announced changes to the minimum .NET target versions the AWS SDK for .NET will support.

Update June 20th, 2024: Initially this announcement specified the minimum .NET Framework version would change to 4.6.2. During the development of this work we determined that 4.7.2 would be a better minimum target framework for the long term direction of the SDK.

We are happy to announce the general availability of the Lambda Annotations Framework for .NET. This new programming model makes the experience of writing Lambda in C# feel more natural for .NET developers by using C# Source Generators. In this post we’ll show how to use framework to simplifying writing .NET Lambda functions that are […]

.NET developers rely on .NET’s automatic memory allocation and garbage collection (GC) mechanisms to handle the memory needs of their applications. For most use cases GC isn’t something developers need to worry about. However, in modern architectures where .NET applications are running in memory constrained environments, like containers and AWS Lambda functions, the GC might […]

The Annotations framework makes the experience of writing Lambda feel more natural in C#. It also takes care of synchronizing the […]

In the last post about our new AWS .NET Deployment tooling I talked about some of the recent updates we have made. I did skip a very important feature called deployment projects because I thought it deserved it’s own post. A major goal with the new deployment tooling is not to have unseen magic happening […]

Last spring we announced the preview of our new AWS deployment tooling for .NET. We have been very busy adding new features since then, with new releases about every two weeks. Let’s take a look at some of the features we have shipped since the initial release. Getting Started As a reminder, the new AWS […]

In 2012, AWS launched .NET support for AWS Elastic Beanstalk – AWS’s first deployment service. At the same time, we also released Visual Studio support via the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio to help developers deploy their ASP.NET applications to AWS. In the 9 years since that release, the world has changed a lot. AWS […]
