In this post, you will learn methods for network monitoring in AWS Lambda functions and how to apply them to your scenarios.

Introduced at re:Invent 2022, SnapStart is a performance optimization that makes it easier to build highly responsive and scalable applications using AWS Lambda. The largest contributor to startup latency (often referred to as cold-start time) is the time spent initializing a function. This post discusses ‘Priming’, a technique to further optimize startup times for AWS Lambda functions built using Java and Spring Boot.

In this post, we review best practices for capacity management and fault tolerance with Outposts rack followed by an example of how the Outposts API can be used to build an automated monitoring and alerting system to highlight potential resiliency issues.

This post explores the importance of distributed tracing for operating serverless applications and announces an important update to tracing behavior for AWS Lambda, which streamlines how trace context is handled in PassThrough mode. This blog post will demonstrate how this change gives you better control over how your Lambda functions handle tracing with AWS X-Ray through practical examples. Whether you’re building new applications or operating existing ones, this update helps you achieve more predictable and efficient tracing across your serverless applications built using Lambda.

This blog is written by Rajesh Kesaraju, Sr. Solution Architect, EC2-Flexible Compute and Peter Manastyrny, Sr. Product Manager, EC2. Today AWS is adding two new attributes for the attribute-based instance type selection (ABS) feature to make it even easier to create and manage instance type flexible configurations on Amazon EC2. The new network bandwidth attribute […]

July 2025c2: This post was reviewed for accuracy. Cloud gaming enables access to high-performance gaming without upfront hardware investment, using pay-as-you-go pricing instead. Cloud gaming platforms such as Amazon Luna are an entryway, but users are limited to the games available on the service. Furthermore, many users also prefer to own their games, or they […]

Author: Rajesh Kesaraju, Sr. Specialist Solution Architect, EC2 Spot Instances In this blog post, I go over using Amazon EC2 Spot Instances on continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) workloads, via the popular open-source automation server Jenkins. I also break down the steps required to adopt Spot Instances into your CI/CD pipelines for cost optimization purposes. In this blog, I explain […]

Developing a scalable translation solution for thousands of documents can be challenging using traditional, server-based architecture. Using a serverless approach, this becomes much easier since you can use storage and compute services that scale for you.

This post is written by Ludvig Nordstrom and Mark Duffield | on November 27, 2019 In this blog post, we dive in to a cloud native approach for running HPC applications at scale on EC2 Spot Instances, using a decoupled serverless scheduler. This architecture is ideal for many workloads in the HPC and EDA industries, and […]

AWS SMS is an agentless service that facilitates and expedites the migration of your existing workloads to AWS. The service enables you to automate, schedule, and monitor incremental replications of active server volumes, which facilitates large-scale server migration coordination. Recently, you could only migrate virtual machines (VMs) running in VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V environments. […]
