Two common options when building applications are request-response and event-driven architecture. In request-response architecture, an application’s components communicate via API calls. The client sends a request and expects a response before performing the next task. In event-driven architecture, the client generates an event and can immediately move on to its next task. Different parts of […]

This blog was written by Monica Cortes Sack, Solutions Architect, Oskar Neumann, Partner Solutions Architect, and Dhiraj Mahapatro, Principal Specialist SA, Serverless. AWS Step Functions now support over 220 services and over 10,000 AWS API actions. This enables you to use the AWS SDK integration directly instead of writing an AWS Lambda function as a proxy. One […]

This post is written by Amr Ragab, Principal Solutions Architect, Amazon EC2. AWS is excited to announce that the new Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) DL1 instances are now generally available in US-East (N. Virginia) and US-West (Oregon). DL1 provides up to 40% better price performance for training deep learning models as compared to […]

This post is written by Christian Müller, Principal AWS Solutions Architect and Maximilian Schellhorn, AWS Solutions Architect When running applications on AWS Lambda, you have the option to use either one of the managed runtime versions that AWS provides or bring your own custom runtime. The following blog post provides a walkthrough of how you […]

Idempotency is a critical piece of serverless architectures and can be difficult to implement. If not done correctly, it can lead to inconsistent data and other issues. This post shows how you can use Lambda Powertools to make Lambda functions idempotent and ensure that critical transactions are handled only once.

Event-driven architecture, at its core, is driven by producers creating events and subscribers being made aware of those events and acting upon them. An event is a data representation of something that happened elsewhere in the application or from an outside producer. When building event-driven applications, it is critical to determine what events exist in […]

This blog post describes several challenges common to orchestrating HPC workloads. I describe how Step Functions with AWS Batch can solve many of these challenges. I provide a project that contains several sample patterns and show how to deploy and test this in your account.

In event-driven architecture, services interact with each other through events. An event is something that happened in your application (for example, an item was put into a cart, a new order was placed). Events are JSON objects that tell you information about something that happened in your application. In event-driven architecture, each component of the […]

This blog shows how to create an EventBridge global endpoint to improve the availability and reliability of event ingestion of event-driven applications. This example shows how to use the PutEvents in the Python AWS SDK to publish events to a global endpoint.

In modern application development, event-driven architecture is becoming more prominent because it can make building applications in the cloud easier. Event-driven architecture can allow you to decouple your services, which increases developer velocity, and can make it easier for you to debug applications. It also can help remove the bottleneck that occurs when features expand […]
