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.

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.

This blog post describes how to use Step Functions to orchestrate Fault Injection Simulator (FIS) experiments for EC2 and ECS workloads. Using the workflow in this post as an example, you can build state machines for more AWS FIS experiments.

The AWS Serverless Learning Plan and digital badge are available now. All courses are available on-demand. Both the learning plan courses and the assessment are free for everyone.

Caching data retrieved from external services is an effective way to improve the performance of your Lambda function and reduce costs. Implementing a caching layer has been made simpler with this AWS-managed Lambda extension. 

This post demonstrates how to create a Step Functions Express Workflow in one account and call it from a Step Functions Standard Workflow in another account using a new credentials capability of AWS Step Functions.

Node.js 18 is now supported by Lambda. When building your Lambda functions using the zip archive packaging style, use a runtime parameter value of nodejs18.x to get started building with Node.js 18.

This post is written by Vikas Panghal (Principal Product Manager), and Hardik Vasa (Senior Solutions Architect). Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a fully managed message queuing service that makes it easier to decouple and scale microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications. SQS queues enable asynchronous communication between different application components and ensure that each of these […]

AWS now supports .NET 7 native AOT on Lambda. Read the Lambda Developer Guide for more getting started information. For more details on the performance improvements from using .NET 7 native AOT on Lambda, see the serverless-dotnet-demo repository on GitHub.

This post shows how you can create rules in EventBridge to react to operational events from AWS services. These events are routed to Step Functions, which runs a workflow consisting of steps to enrich the event, handle errors, and emit the enriched event. The example shows how to consume the enriched events, resulting in an operator receiving an email.
