Zero downtime blue/green deployments with Amazon API Gateway

In this post, you learn how to implement blue/green deployments by using Amazon API Gateway for your APIs. For this post, we use AWS Lambda functions on the backend. However, you can follow the same strategy for other backend implementations of the APIs. All the required infrastructure is deployed by using AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM).

Effectively building AI agents on AWS Serverless

Imagine an AI assistant that doesn’t just respond to prompts – it reasons through goals, acts, and integrates with real-time systems. This is the promise of agentic AI. According to Gartner, by 2028 over 33% of enterprise applications will embed agentic capabilities – up from less than 1% today. While early generative AI efforts focused […]

Modernizing SOAP applications using Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda

This post demonstrates how you can modernize legacy SOAP applications using Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda to create bidirectional proxy architectures that enable integration between SOAP and REST systems without disrupting existing business operations. Many organizations today face the challenge of maintaining critical business systems that were built decades ago. These legacy applications power […]

Orchestrating document processing with AWS AppSync Events and Amazon Bedrock

Many organizations implement intelligent document processing pipelines in order to extract meaningful insights from an increasing volume of unstructured content (such as insurance claims, loan applications and more). Traditionally, these pipelines require significant engineering efforts, as the implementation often involves using several machine learning (ML) models and orchestrating complex workflows. As organizations integrate these pipelines […]

Dynamically routing requests with Amazon API Gateway routing rules

Today, Amazon API Gateway announces support for dynamic routing rules for custom domain names in all supported AWS Regions. This new capability enables you to route API requests based on HTTP header values, either independently or in combination with URL paths. In this post, you will learn how to use this new capability to implement routing strategies such as API versioning and gradual rollouts without modifying your API endpoints.

Powering hybrid workloads with Amazon API Gateway

Amazon API Gateway can provide a single-entry point for all incoming API requests for Hybrid Workloads. It provides a layer of abstraction between the API consumers and the backend services, allowing for centralized control. Routing all traffic through the API Gateway lets builders centrally enforce authentication, authorization, rate limiting, and other security features. This blog post describes how to configure API Gateway as an entry point to your on-premises resources.
