Amazon Web Services (AWS) has been recognized as a Leader in The Forrester Wave: Serverless Development Platforms, Q2 2025, achieving the highest ranking in both the Current Offering and Strategy categories.

AWS Lambda now provides native support for Apache Avro and Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) formatted events with Apache Kafka event source mapping (ESM) when using Provisioned Mode. The support allows you to validate your schema with popular schema registries. This allows you to use and filter the more efficient binary event formats and share data using

As you move your generative AI implementations from prototype to production, you may discover the need to run foundation models (FMs) on-premises or at the edge to address data residency, information security (InfoSec) policy, or low latency requirements. To address users’ data residency, latency, and InfoSec needs, this post provides guidance on deploying generative AI FMs into AWS Local Zones and AWS Outposts.

Event-driven architectures with message brokers need careful attention to security best practices. Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ combined with AWS Lambda enables serverless event processing. However, implementing defense in depth and least privilege principles necessitates a clear understanding of networking requirements. This is particularly important when working with different subnet types and their impact on service

AWS announced that Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023) has achieved Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-3 Level 1 validation of our cryptographic modules, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to providing secure, compliant operating system options for regulated workloads. FIPS certified modules are particularly important for US and Canadian government workloads, healthcare applications requiring HIPAA

In this post, learn how the new Powertools for AWS Lambda (TypeScript) Parser utility can help you validate payloads easily and make your Lambda function more resilient. Validating input payloads is an important aspect of building secure and reliable applications. This ensures that data that an application receives can gracefully handle unexpected or malicious inputs

Efficient resource management is crucial for organizations seeking to optimize cloud costs while making sure of seamless access to compute capacity. Amazon EC2 On-Demand Capacity Reservations (ODCRs) provide the flexibility to reserve compute capacity within a specific Availability Zone (AZ) for any duration. In this post, we demonstrate how Amazon Bedrock Agents can help organizations gain actionable insights into ODCR usage across their AWS environment.

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.

Today, AWS announces the open-source AWS Serverless Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, a tool that combines the power of AI assistance with serverless expertise to enhance how developers build modern applications. The Serverless MCP Server provides contextual guidance specific to serverless development, helping developers make informed decisions about architecture, implementation, and deployment. This post describes how the Serverless MCP Server works with AI coding assistants to streamline serverless development.

In this post, you learn how to use AWS AppSync Events to modernize your applications by bridging synchronous and asynchronous communication patterns without requiring significant changes to your existing frontend code.

Enterprise cloud environments are growing increasingly complex as they scale, with organizations managing hundreds to thousands of Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounts across multiple business units and AWS Regions. Organizations need efficient ways to collect, transport, and analyze activity data for threat detection and compliance monitoring. In this post, you will learn to use AWS CloudTrail and Amazon EventBridge for real-time cloud activity monitoring and automated response.

AWS Outposts supports self-service capacity management at the entire Outpost level, or at the individual asset level, making it easy for you to view and manage compute capacity on your Outposts. The release of Asset Level Capacity Management allows you to control the configuration of specific assets within your Outpost, which can be useful when planning strategies for EC2 Auto Scaling groups and host-level high availability. This post focuses on how to use Asset Level Capacity Management to perform single-host reconfigurations, and how this can be used with Amazon EC2 placement groups to control instance placement on your Outpost.

Currently, the federation plugin on Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ connects to publicly available upstream brokers only. This post explains how to implement federation for Amazon MQ RabbitMQ Private Brokers using Network Load Balancers (NLB). The steps allow private brokers to communicate with each other to create a distributed system.

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.

This blog demonstrates how to leverage Amazon S3 presigned URLs to allow your users to securely upload files to S3 without requiring explicit permissions in the AWS Account. This blog post specifically focuses on the security ramifications of using S3 presigned URLs, and explains mitigation steps that serverless developers can take to improve the security of their systems using S3 presigned URLs.

Amazon DCV has evolved as a powerful remote display protocol, enabling secure high-performance remote desktop access and application streaming. This blog talks about how DCV remote display capabilities are now integrated with Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023).

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

Effective logging is an important part of an observability strategy when building serverless applications using AWS Lambda. Lambda automatically captures and sends logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs. This allows you to focus on building application logic rather than setting up logging infrastructure and allows operators to troubleshoot failures and performance issues more easily. On May

In this post, you learn how to use AWS serverless technologies, such as Amazon EventBridge and AWS Lambda, to build an integration between Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs) and online ordering and food delivery aggregators. These aggregators have taken off as an option to QSRs to expand their consumer base, enabling them with delivery options to help grow their businesses.

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.
