Today, AWS is announcing tenant isolation for AWS Lambda, enabling you to process function invocations in separate execution environments for each end-user or tenant invoking your Lambda function. This capability simplifies building secure multi-tenant SaaS applications by managing tenant-level compute environment isolation and request routing, allowing you to focus on core business logic rather than implementing tenant-aware compute environment isolation.

In this post, we will show how you can use the new portal feature to create customizable portals with enhanced security features in minutes, with APIs from multiple accounts, without managing any infrastructure.

Today, AWS announced support for response streaming in Amazon API Gateway to significantly improve the responsiveness of your REST APIs by progressively streaming response payloads back to the client. With this new capability, you can use streamed responses to enhance user experience when building LLM-driven applications (such as AI agents and chatbots), improve time-to-first-byte (TTFB) performance for web and mobile applications, stream large files, and perform long-running operations while reporting incremental progress using protocols such as server-sent events (SSE).

Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (Amazon EC2) instances with locally attached NVMe storage can provide the performance needed for workloads demanding ultra-low latency and high I/O throughput. High-performance workloads, from high-frequency trading applications and in-memory databases to real-time analytics engines and AI/ML inference, need comprehensive performance tracking. Operating system tools like iostat and sar provide valuable system-level insights, and Amazon CloudWatch offers important disk IOPs and throughput measurements, but high-performance workloads can benefit from even more detailed visibility into instance store performance.

AWS Lambda now supports Python 3.14 as both a managed runtime and container base image. Python is a popular language for building serverless applications. Developers can now take advantage of new features and enhancements when creating serverless applications on Lambda.

Today, AWS Lambda is promoting Rust support from Experimental to Generally Available. This means you can now use Rust to build business-critical serverless applications, backed by AWS Support and the Lambda availability SLA.

In this post, we explore using AWS Step Function state machine with asynchronous AWS services, look at some scenarios where the processing time can be unpredictable, explain when traditional solutions such as polling (periodically check) fall short, and demonstrate how to implement a generalized callback pattern to handle asynchronous operations into a more manageable synchronous flow.

You can now develop AWS Lambda functions using Java 25 either as a managed runtime or using the container base image. This blog post highlights notable Java language features, Java Lambda runtime updates, and how you can use the new Java 25 runtime in your serverless applications.

This post examines the benefits of transitioning Lambda functions to IPv6, provides practical guidance for implementing dual-stack support in your Lambda environment, and considerations for maintaining compatibility with existing systems during migration.

In this post, you’ll learn how to use AWS Step Functions Distributed Map to process Amazon Athena data manifest and Parquet files through a step-by-step demonstration.
