AWS Developer Tools Blog

In part 1 of this blog post, we showed you how to leverage the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse to quickly develop Java functions for AWS Lambda. We then set up a skeleton project and the structure to handle custom objects sent to your Java function. In part 2 of this blog post, we will implement […]

Most of us are aware of the support for a developer authentication backend in Amazon Cognito and how one can use a custom backend service to authenticate and authorize users to access AWS resources using temporary credentials. In this blog, we will create a quick serverless backend authentication API written in Java and deployed on […]

Of the many changes brought about with Java 8, the Stream API is perhaps one of the most exciting.  Java 8 streams, which are unrelated to Java’s I/O streams, allow you to perform a series of mutations and transformations against a collection of items.  You can think of a stream as a form of data […]

In this post, we discussed a new cmdlet you can use to navigate your way around the cmdlets in the AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell module. This cmdlet enables you to search for cmdlets that implemented a service API by answering questions like, “Which cmdlet implements the Amazon EC2 ‘RunInstances’ API?” It can also do […]

Another AWS re:Invent in the bag. It was great to talk to so many of our customers about .NET and PowerShell. Steve Roberts and I gave two talks this year. The first session was about how to take advantage of ASP.NET 5 in AWS. The second session was our first-ever PowerShell talk at re:Invent. It […]

This year’s AWS re:Invent conference is just a few days away. Norm, Milind, and I from the .NET SDK and Tools team at AWS will be attending. We are looking forward to meeting with as many of you as we can. This year we have two .NET-related breakout sessions: On Wednesday afternoon, we will show […]

AWS re:Invent 2015 kicks off next week! We couldn’t be more excited to hear how you’re using our SDKs and tools to build your applications. You can find several sessions covering the AWS SDKs and tools in the Developer Tools track. We’ll also be working at the AWS booth in the Expo Hall, so be […]

Today we have released beta support for ASP.NET 5 in the AWS SDK for .NET. ASP.NET 5 is an exciting development for .NET developers with modularization and cross-platform support being major goals for the new platform. Currently, ASP.NET 5 is on beta 7. There may be more changes before its 1.0 release. For this reason, […]

In version 3.1.1 of the DynamoDB .NET SDK package, we added enum support to the Object Persistence Model. This feature allows you to use enums in .NET objects you store and load in DynamoDB. Before this change, the only way to support enums in your objects was to use a custom converter to serialize and […]

Version 2.2.0 of the AWS SDK for JavaScript introduces support for the document client abstraction in the AWS.DynamoDB namespace. The document client abstraction makes it easier to read and write data to Amazon DynamoDB with the AWS SDK for JavaScript. Now you can use native JavaScript objects without annotating them as AttributeValue types. This article […]
