AWS Developer Tools Blog

One of the most exciting Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 features is the ability to have static analysis run on your code as you write it. This allows you to flag code that is syntactically correct but will cause errors when run. We have added static analyzers to the latest AWS SDK NuGet packages for each […]

Whether it’s a quickstart for using a service, a tricky gotcha, or a neat application, have you ever wanted to share information with other users of the AWS CLI? The good news is, you can. In a post, that I wrote a few months ago, I introduced the AWS CLI Topic Guide and described how […]

Starting with version 3.1.31.0, the AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell support the use of federated user accounts through Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) for accessing AWS services, using Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). In earlier versions, all cmdlets that called AWS services required you to specify AWS access and secret keys through either cmdlet […]

In parts 1, 2, and 3 of this series, we used the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse to create a Java Lambda function. This function authenticated a user against an Amazon DynamoDB table (representing a directory of users) and then connected to Amazon Cognito to obtain an OpenID token. This token could then be used to […]

Today, I’m excited to announce the Practical DynamoDB Programming in Java demo from AWS re:Invent 2015 is available on github. This project is used to demonstrate how Amazon DynamoDB can be used together with AWS Lambda to perform real-time and batch analysis of domain-specific data. Real-time analysis is performed by using DynamoDB streams as an event source of a Lambda function. Batch […]

Amazon Kinesis Firehose, a new service announced at this year’s re:Invent conference, is the easiest way to load streaming data into to AWS. Firehose manages all of the resources and automatically scales to match the throughput of your data. It can capture and automatically load streaming data into Amazon S3 and Amazon Redshift. An example […]

There’s a great post on the AWS Security Blog today. Greg Rubin explains How to Protect the Integrity of Your Encrypted Data by Using AWS Key Management Service and EncryptionContext. Greg is a security expert and a developer on AWS Key Management Service. He’s helped us out with encryption and security changes in the AWS […]

In parts 1 and 2 of this blog post, we saw how easy it is to get started on Java development for AWS Lambda, and use a microservices architecture to quickly iterate on an AuthenticateUser call that integrates with Amazon Cognito. We set up the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse, used the wizard to create a […]

re:Invent has come and gone, and once again, we all had a blast. It’s always great to meet with customers and discuss how they’re using the AWS SDKs and CLIs. Keep the feedback coming. At this year’s AWS CLI session at re:Invent, I had the opportunity to address one of the topics that we previously […]

A little over a year ago, we announced a new feature in the AWS SDK for PHP that allowed customers to validate inbound SNS messages. In the latest version of the SDK, this functionality is now available in its own package, one that does not depend on the SDK, so it’s simpler to listen to […]
