Modern applications increasingly rely on Serverless technologies such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) Lambda to provide scalability, cost efficiency, and agility. The Serverless Applications Lens for the AWS Well-Architected Framework focuses on how to design, deploy, and architect your Serverless applications to overcome some of these challenges. Powertools for AWS Lambda is a developer toolkit that […]

This blog post discusses the AWS Lambda as orchestrator anti-pattern and how to redesign serverless solutions using AWS Step Functions with native integrations.

Quorum queues are now available on Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ from version 3.13. Quorum queues are a replicated First-In, First-Out (FIFO) queue type that uses the Raft consensus algorithm to maintain data consistency. Quorum queues on RabbitMQ version 3.13 lack one key feature compared to classic queues: message prioritization. However, RabbitMQ version 4.0 introduced support […]

Today, AWS introduced Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) fair queues, a new feature that mitigates noisy neighbor impact in multi-tenant systems.

In this post we show you how to boot Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances on Outposts directly from NetApp on-premise […]

Serverless applications commonly use infrastructure as code (IaC) frameworks to define and manage their cloud resources. Teams choose different IaC tools based on their skills, existing tooling, or compliance needs. As applications grow, the need to shift between IaC formats may arise to adopt new features or align with evolving standards. Developers are rapidly adopting AI-powered […]

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 […]

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 […]
