Lambda is deprecating the go1.x runtime in line with Amazon Linux 1 end-of-life, scheduled for December 31, 2023. Customers using Go with Lambda should migrate their functions to the provided.al2 runtime. Benefits include support for AWS Graviton2 processors with better price-performance, and a streamlined invoke path with faster performance.

This blog post shows how you can implement patterns that must exit early out of a parallel state in an AWS Step Functions workflow.

When building event-driven applications, consider whether you can replace application code with serverless integration services to improve the resilience of your application and provide a clean separation between application logic and system dependencies.

This post is written by Pawan Puthran, Principal Serverless Specialist TAM, Aneel Murari, Senior Serverless Specialist Solution Architect, and Shree Shrikhande, Senior AWS Lambda Product Manager.

This blog explains three key throttle limits applied on Lambda invokes: the concurrency limit, TPS limit and burst limit. It outlines the relationship between these limits and how each one protects the system and your workload from noisy neighbors. Equipped with this knowledge you can better interpret any 429 throttling exceptions you may receive while scaling your applications on Lambda.

This post is written by Jeff Chen, Principal Cloud Application Architect, and Jeff Li, Senior Cloud Application Architect Event-driven architectures are an architecture style that can help you boost agility and build reliable, scalable applications. Splitting an application into loosely coupled services can help each service scale independently. A distributed, loosely coupled application depends on […]
