Automating stopping and starting Amazon MWAA environments to reduce cost
This was written by Uma Ramadoss, Specialist Integration Services, and Chandan Rupakheti, Solutions Architect. This blog post shows how you can save cost by automating the stopping and starting of an Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (Amazon MWAA) environment. It describes how you can retain the data stored in a metadata database and presents […]
Extending a serverless, event-driven architecture to existing container workloads
The blog explains a way to integrate existing container workload running on AWS Fargate with a new event-driven architecture. You use EventBridge to decouple different services from each other that are built using different compute technologies, languages, and frameworks. Using AWS CDK, you gain the modularity of building services decoupled from each other.
Patterns for building an API to upload files to Amazon S3
This post explores three different approaches to securely upload content to an Amazon S3 bucket via HTTPS without the need to build a dedicated API or client application.
Building private serverless APIs with AWS Lambda and Amazon VPC Lattice
Builders can focus on creating customer value and differentiated features instead of complex networking in much the same way that Lambda allows you to focus on writing code. If you are interested in learning more about VPC Lattice, we recommend the VPC Lattice User Guide.
Understanding techniques to reduce AWS Lambda costs in serverless applications
Lambda offers a number of techniques that you can use to minimize infrastructure costs whether you are just getting started with Lambda or have numerous functions already deployed in production. When combined with the lower costs of initial development and ongoing maintenance, serverless can offer a low total cost of ownership.
Python 3.10 runtime now available in AWS Lambda
You can build and deploy functions using Python 3.10 using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, AWS SDK, AWS SAM, AWS CDK, or your choice of Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
Optimizing AWS Lambda extensions in C# and Rust
This post demonstrates techniques that can be used for running and profiling different types of Lambda extensions. This post focuses on Lambda extensions written in C# and Rust.
Using AWS Lambda SnapStart with infrastructure as code and CI/CD pipelines
This blog post shows the steps needed to leverage Lambda SnapStart, with examples for AWS CloudFormation, AWS SAM, and Terraform.
Managing sessions of anonymous users in WebSocket API-based applications
In this post, you learn how to keep track of user sessions when using WebSockets API and not lose the session context when the user reconnects again. Apply learnings from this example to improve your user experience when using WebSocket APIs for web-frontend and mobile applications, where internet connections may be unstable.
Building serverless Java applications with the AWS SAM CLI
This blog post shows how to build Java applications with the AWS SAM CLI. You learnt about the default build mechanisms, and how to customize the build behavior and abstract the build process inside a container environment. Visit the GitHub repository for the example code templates referenced in the examples.
