Stay current with the latest serverless innovations that can transform your applications. In this 31st quarterly recap, discover the most impactful AWS serverless launches, features, and resources from Q4 2025 that you might have missed.

To support cloud applications that increasingly depend on rich contextual data, AWS is raising the maximum payload size from 256 KB to 1 MB for asynchronous AWS Lambda function invocations, Amazon Amazon SQS, and Amazon EventBridge. Developers can use this enhancement to build and maintain context-rich event-driven systems and reduce the need for complex workarounds such as data chunking or external large object storage.

AWS now supports multiple local gateway (LGW) routing domains on AWS Outposts racks to simplify network segmentation. Network segmentation is the practice of splitting a computer network into isolated subnetworks, or network segments. This reduces the attack surface so that if a host on one network segment is compromised, the hosts on the other network segments are not affected. Many customers in regulated industries such as manufacturing, health care and life sciences, banking, and others implement network segmentation as part of their on-premises network security standards to reduce the impact of a breach and help address compliance requirements.

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) on AWS Outposts brings the power of managed Kubernetes to your on-premises infrastructure. Use Amazon EKS on Outposts rack to create hybrid cloud deployments that maintain consistent AWS experiences across environments. As organizations increasingly adopt edge computing and hybrid architectures, storage optimization and performance tuning become critical for successful workload deployment.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Lambda now supports .NET 10 as both a managed runtime and base container image. .NET is a popular language for building serverless applications. Developers can now use the new features and enhancements in .NET when creating serverless applications on Lambda. This includes support for file-based apps to streamline your projects by implementing functions using just a single file.

In healthcare, generative AI is transforming how medical professionals analyze data, summarize clinical notes, and generate insights to improve patient outcomes. From automating medical documentation to assisting in diagnostic reasoning, large language models (LLMs) have the potential to augment clinical workflows and accelerate research. However, these innovations also introduce significant privacy, security, and intellectual property challenges.

Organizations often have large volumes of documents containing valuable information that remains locked away and unsearchable. This solution addresses the need for a scalable, automated text extraction and knowledge base pipeline that transforms static document collections into intelligent, searchable repositories for generative AI applications.

You can now develop AWS Lambda functions using Node.js 24, either as a managed runtime or using the container base image. Node.js 24 is in active LTS status and ready for production use. It is expected to be supported with security patches and bugfixes until April 2028. The Lambda runtime for Node.js 24 includes a new implementation of the […]

Recently we announced the availability of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) R8a instances, the latest addition to the AMD memory-optimized instance family. These instances are powered by the 5th Generation AMD EPYC (codename Turin) processors with a maximum frequency of 4.5 GHz. In this post I take these instances for a spin and benchmark MySQL later on, but first I discuss the top things you should know about these instances.

AWS re:Invent 2025 returns to Las Vegas, Nevada, from December 1–5, 2025. This year, we’re offering a comprehensive lineup of sessions and booth activities to help you build resilient, performant, and scalable applications wherever you need them—in the cloud, on premises, or at the edge.
