Get started building with Ruby 3.2 today by making necessary changes for compatibility with Ruby 3.2, and specifying a runtime parameter value of ruby3.2 when creating or updating your Lambda functions.
Implementing custom domain names for Amazon API Gateway private endpoints using a reverse proxy
This blog post demonstrates a solution that allows customers to utilize their private endpoints securely with API Gateway across AWS accounts and within a VPC network by using a reverse proxy with a custom domain name. The solution offers a simplified approach to manage the mapping between private endpoints with API Gateway and custom domain names, ensuring seamless connectivity and security.
Developing a serverless Slack app using AWS Step Functions and AWS Lambda
This blog was written by Sam Wilson, Cloud Application Architect and John Lopez, Cloud Application Architect. Slack, as an enterprise collaboration and communication service, presents opportunities for builders to improve efficiency through implementing custom-written Slack Applications (apps). One such opportunity is to expose existing AWS resources to your organization without your employees needing AWS Management […]

Implementing cross-account CI/CD with AWS SAM for container-based Lambda functions
Containerized applications often have several distinct environments and accounts, such as dev, test, and prod. An application has to go through a process of deployment and testing in these environments. One common pattern for deploying containerized applications is to have a central AWS create a single container image, and carry out deployment across other AWS accounts. To achieve automated deployment of the application across different environments, customers use CI/CD pipelines with familiar container tooling. This blog post explores how to use AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) Pipelines to create a CI/CD deployment pipeline and deploy a container-based Lambda function across multiple accounts.
Extending a serverless, event-driven architecture to existing container workloads
The blog explains a way to integrate existing container workload running on AWS Fargate with a new event-driven architecture. You use EventBridge to decouple different services from each other that are built using different compute technologies, languages, and frameworks. Using AWS CDK, you gain the modularity of building services decoupled from each other.
