New – A Shared File System for Your Lambda Functions

I am very happy to announce that AWS Lambda functions can now mount an Amazon Elastic File System (EFS), a scalable and elastic NFS file system storing data within and across multiple availability zones (AZ) for high availability and durability. In this way, you can use a familiar file system interface to store and share data across Read more about New – A Shared File System for Your Lambda Functions[…]

Welcome to the Serverless-First Function Virtual Events

When you develop a serverless application, you can focus on the core features you want to build, instead of worrying about managing and operating servers, databases, or storage systems. To simplify adoption and use of serverless technologies, we launched many new features in the last few months. For example, just to pick up a few: Read more about Welcome to the Serverless-First Function Virtual Events[…]

New – Amazon EventBridge Schema Registry is Now Generally Available

Amazon EventBridge is a serverless event bus that makes it easy to connect applications together. It can use data from AWS services, your own applications, and integrations with Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) partners. Last year at re:Invent, we introduced in preview EventBridge schema registry and discovery, a way to store the structure of the events (the schema) in a central Read more about New – Amazon EventBridge Schema Registry is Now Generally Available[…]
