With our release of .NET Core support in AWS Lambda, we also released many NuGet packages to help you develop Lambda functions. We’ve been constantly updating them on our GitHub repository as well. Let’s look at some of the recent updates. Amazon.Lambda.Tools This package contains the integration with the .NET Core CLI, which you can […]

In the last post, we talked about AWS Lambda deployment integration with the dotnet CLI, using the Amazon.Lambda.Tools NuGet package to deploy Lambda functions and serverless applications. But what if you want to create an AWS Lambda project outside of Visual Studio? This is especially important if you’re working on platforms other than Windows. The […]

In previous posts about our .NET Core support with AWS Lambda, we’ve shown how you can create Lambda functions and serverless applications with Visual Studio. But one of the most exciting things about .NET Core is its cross-platform support with the new command line interface (CLI) named dotnet. To help you develop Lambda functions outside […]

The AWS SDK for .NET, AWS Tools for PowerShell, and the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio now support the use of the AWS CLI credentials file. Some of the AWS SDKs have supported shared use of the AWS CLI credentials file for some time, and we’re happy to add the SDK for .NET to that […]

Amazon DynamoDB recently added Time-to-Live (TTL) support, a way to automatically delete expired items from your DynamoDB table. This blog post discusses this feature, how it’s exposed in the AWS SDK for .NET, and how you can take advantage of it.

We highly encourage you to pass along […]

In the previous post, we talked about the new ASP.NET Core Web API blueprint for AWS Lambda, and the Amazon.Lambda.AspNetCoreServer NuGet package that made it possible to run the ASP.NET Core Web API through Lambda. But what if you already have an existing ASP.NET Core Web API that you want to try as a serverless […]

One of the coolest things we demoed at our recent AWS re:Invent talk about .NET Core support for AWS Lambda was how to run an ASP.NET Core Web API with Lambda. We did this with the NuGet package Amazon.Lambda.AspNetCoreServer (which is currently in preview) and Amazon API Gateway. Today we’ve released a new AWS Serverless […]

You can use Amazon CloudWatch Logs to monitor, store, and access your application’s logs. To get log data into CloudWatch Logs, you can use an AWS SDK or install the CloudWatch Log agent to monitor certain log folders. Today, we’ve made it even easier to use CloudWatch Logs with .NET applications by integrating CloudWatch Logs […]

In the last post, I talked about the AWS Lambda Project template. The other new project template we added to Visual Studio is the AWS Serverless Application. This is our AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio implementation of the new AWS Serverless Application Model. Using this project type, you can develop a collection of AWS Lambda […]
