architecture for sample request parameter-based OPA Lambda authorizer that receives the identity of the caller in a combination of headers and converts them as structured context data for OPA to make a policy decision and authorize your API call

Creating a custom Lambda authorizer using Open Policy Agent

Organizations have complex infrastructure and need common tooling to make decisions about the system as a whole. In such scenarios, policy-based decision making could be implemented using Open Policy Agent (OPA). OPA is an open source, general-purpose policy engine, which decouples policy decision-making from policy enforcement. When a web-based application needs to make a policy […]

Packaging and deploying AWS Lambda functions written in Java with AWS Cloud Development Kit

Many Java applications use Apache Maven or Gradle for building and managing the project. These tools help map how to build a particular piece of software, along with its different dependencies. In almost every scenario, these applications will depend on several external dependencies/libraries. AWS Lambda functions written in Java also use these tools for packaging […]
