At the end of 2021 we made traces in OpenTelemetry generally available (GA) and then the focus in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) OpenTelemetry project moved to metrics. We worked upstream in the community to implement metrics in SDKs and ensure compatibility with Prometheus as well as to stabilize the collector to support metrics. […]

Companies providing digital services are looking for ways to effectively identify fraudulent activities, such as online payment fraud and fake account creation.

The object storage service Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is a foundational storage building block powering a variety of workloads from asset backup and serving, to analytics and machine learning. In this blog post, we describe how to search and find a scenario-specific optimized S3 download configuration in minutes using the open source distributed […]

GraphQL is an application-level query language that helps clients and servers communicate by establishing a common protocol for queries. It represents an alternative to the REST style: unlike REST, GraphQL gives the client, not the server, the power to define what kind of data will be included in the response to its query.

Rust is a programming language implemented as a set of open source projects. It combines the performance and resource efficiency of systems programming languages like C with the memory safety of languages like Java. Rust started in 2006 as a personal project of Graydon Hoare before becoming a research project at Mozilla in 2010. Rust […]

This post was written by Dzenan Softic and Sam Dengler. Many organizations rely on Apache Airflow, an open source project, to orchestrate their data pipelines. In 2020, Amazon Web Services (AWS) released Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (Amazon MWAA), which lets engineers focus on business solutions rather than on running and maintaining infrastructure for […]

Customers want better insight into understanding the behavior of their systems, but not all customers can afford to make significant code changes in their existing pipelines to add more observability. In this walkthrough, we explain how to get telemetry data from AWS Lambda Python functions, without having to change a line of code. Find the […]

DevOps is a common denominator for software delivery across industries. No matter the software, developers must ensure that infrastructure resources are provisioned; testing and delivery mechanisms are in place; and security, reliability, and scalability requirements are provided. That is why choosing the right DevOps tooling is central to a delivery team’s best practices, particularly in […]

In September, we announced the general availability of Amazon Corretto 17. Amazon Corretto is a no-cost, multi-platform, production-ready distribution of the Open Java Development Kit (OpenJDK). The JDK community has declared that OpenJDK 17 will be a long-term supported (LTS) version, which means it will continue to be updated beyond the standard two quarterly updates […]

In this blog post, AWS observability team intern engineer Oliver Hamuy shares his internship experience on his project to enhance the OpenTelemetry PHP SDK by adding support for AWS X-Ray. Please note that the OpenTelemetry PHP SDK is in development and in alpha state currently. We’ve tested the X-Ray pipeline for simple tracing using a […]
