Introducing new asynchronous invocation metrics for AWS Lambda
Using these new CloudWatch metrics, you can gain visibility into the processing of Lambda asynchronous invocations. This blog explained the new metrics AsyncEventsReceived, AsyncEventAge, and AsyncEventsDropped and how to use them to troubleshoot issues.
Securing CI/CD pipelines with AWS SAM Pipelines and OIDC
AWS SAM Pipeline support for OIDC is a new feature of AWS SAM CLI that simplifies the integration of CI/CD pipelines hosted outside of AWS. Using short-term credentials and scoping AWS actions to specific pipeline tasks reduces risk for your organization.
Implementing architectural patterns with Amazon EventBridge Pipes
This post is written by Dominik Richter (Solutions Architect) Architectural patterns help you solve recurring challenges in software design. They are blueprints that have been used and tested many times. When you design distributed applications, enterprise integration patterns (EIP) help you integrate distributed components. For example, they describe how to integrate third-party services into your […]
Building ad-hoc consumers for event-driven architectures
This post is written by Corneliu Croitoru (Media Streaming and Edge Architect) and Benjamin Smith (Principal Developer Advocate, Serverless) In January 2022, the Serverless Developer Advocate team launched Serverlesspresso Extensions, a program that lets you contribute to Serverlesspresso. This is a multi-tenant event-driven application for a pop-up coffee bar that allows you to order from […]
Previewing environments using containerized AWS Lambda functions
This post is written by John Ritsema (Principal Solutions Architect) Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines are effective mechanisms that allow teams to turn source code into running applications. When a developer makes a code change and pushes it to a remote repository, a pipeline with a series of steps can process the change. […]
Best practices for working with the Apache Velocity Template Language in Amazon API Gateway
This post is written by Ben Freiberg, Senior Solutions Architect, and Markus Ziller, Senior Solutions Architect. One of the most common serverless patterns are APIs built with Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda. This approach is supported by many different frameworks across many languages. However, direct integration with AWS can enable customers to increase the […]
Introducing AWS Lambda runtime management controls
This blog post is written by Jonathan Tuliani, Principal Product Manager.

Processing geospatial IoT data with AWS IoT Core and the Amazon Location Service
This post is written by Swarna Kunnath (Cloud Application Architect), and Anand Komandooru (Sr. Cloud Application Architect). This blog post shows how to republish messages that arrive from Internet of Things (IoT) devices across AWS accounts using a replatforming approach. A replatforming approach minimizes changes to the core application architecture, allowing an organization to reduce […]
Introducing maximum concurrency of AWS Lambda functions when using Amazon SQS as an event source
This blog post is written by Solutions Architects John Lee and Jeetendra Vaidya. AWS Lambda now provides a way to control the maximum number of concurrent functions invoked by Amazon SQS as an event source. You can use this feature to control the concurrency of Lambda functions processing messages in individual SQS queues. This post […]
