This post is authored by Anton Aleksandrov, Principal Solution Architect, AWS Serverless and Daniel Abib, Senior Specialist Solutions Architect, AWS Serverless application developers may commonly encounter scenarios where they need to transport large payloads, especially when building modern cloud applications that need rich data. Examples include analytics services with detailed reports, e-commerce platforms with extensive […]

This post is written by Anton Aleksandrov, Principal Solution Architect, AWS Serverless and Rajesh Kumar Pandey, Principal Engineer, AWS Lambda AWS Lambda is a highly scalable and resilient serverless compute service. With over 1.5 million monthly active customers and tens of trillions of invocations processed, scalability and reliability are two of the most important service […]

This post written by Ben Freiberg, Senior Solutions Architect. AWS Step Functions introduces an enhanced local IDE experience to simplify building state machines. Workflow Studio is now available within Visual Studio Code (VS Code) through the AWS Toolkit extension. With this integration, developers can author and edit state machines in their local IDE using the […]

This post written by Uma Ramadoss, Principal Specialist SA, Serverless and Vinita Shadangi, Senior Specialist SA, Serverless. Today, AWS Step Functions is expanding the capabilities of Distributed Map by adding support for JSON Lines (JSONL) format. JSONL, a highly efficient text-based format, stores structured data as individual JSON objects separated by newlines, making it particularly […]

This post is written by James Ngai, Senior Product Manager, AWS Lambda, and Aneel Murari, Senior Specialist SA, Serverless. Today, AWS Lambda is announcing new recursive loop detection APIs that allow you to set recursive loop detection configuration on individual Lambda functions. This allows you to turn off recursive loop detection on functions that intentionally use […]

The circuit breaker pattern is a powerful tool for helping to ensure the resiliency and stability of serverless applications. Lambda extensions are a good fit for its implementation, as demonstrated in this example.

This blog shows four ways of combining synchronous and asynchronous tasks in a Lambda function, allowing you to run tasks that continue running after the function returns a response to the client.

The TestState API helps developers to iterate faster, resolve issues efficiently, and deliver high-quality applications with greater confidence. By enabling developers to test individual states independently and integrating testing into their preferred development workflows, it simplifies the debugging process and reduces context switches.

This blog post details how to run chaos experiments for serverless applications built using Lambda. The described approach uses Lambda extension to inject faults into the execution environment. This allows you to use the same method regardless of runtime or configuration of the Lambda function.
