This post is written by Dhiraj Mahapatro, AWS Principal Specialist SA, Serverless. AWS Step Functions provides enhanced security with a customer-managed AWS KMS key. This allows organizations to maintain complete control over the encryption keys used to protect their data in Step Functions, ensuring that only allowed principals (IAM role, user, or a group) have access […]

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 […]

This post is written by Marcos Ortiz, Principal AWS Solutions Architect and Khubyar Behramsha, Sr. AWS Solutions Architect. In this post, you learn how organizations can evolve from a single-Region architecture API Gateway to a multi-Region one, using a reliable failover mechanism without dependencies on AWS control plane operations. An AWS Well-Architected best practice is […]

Welcome to the 26th edition of the AWS Serverless ICYMI (in case you missed it) quarterly recap. Every quarter, we share all the most recent product launches, feature enhancements, blog posts, webinars, live streams, and other interesting things that you might have missed! In case you missed our last ICYMI, check out what happened last […]

As Amazon CTO Werner Vogels said, “Encryption is the tool we have to make sure that nobody else has access to your data. Amazon Web Services (AWS) built encryption into nearly all of its 165 cloud services. Make use of it. Dance like nobody is watching. Encrypt like everyone is.” Security is the top priority […]

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.
