Building event-driven applications at scale with Amazon EventBridge
Amazon EventBridge relaunched the Custom event bus so a platform team can share one governed bus across the organization while application teams publish and subscribe from their own accounts. See how retention, ordering, open formats, transformation, and direct target delivery change what one bus can carry.
Improving Lambda function latency with scalable network bandwidth
AWS Lambda now supports scalable network bandwidth for functions with 2,048 MB of memory or more running outside a VPC. Sustained throughput scales from 625 Mbps up to 3,000 Mbps at 10,240 MB, reducing execution times and per-invocation costs for latency-sensitive data processing workloads.
Running self-hosted AI agent sandboxes with AWS Lambda MicroVMs
Learn how to run AI agent tool calls in secure, isolated sandboxes using AWS Lambda MicroVMs. This post shows how to architect a self-hosted control plane that launches a fresh, VM-isolated MicroVM for each agent session, keeping credentials, networking, and governance entirely within your own AWS account.
Customize Amazon API Gateway destinations for execution logs
Amazon API Gateway execution logs help you trace request processing step by step through your REST API stages. They capture authorization results, integration latency, mapping template output, and error details that are otherwise invisible at the API surface. When a production request fails in a way the access log cannot explain, the execution log is […]
Announcing 90-minute function timeout on AWS Lambda Managed Instances
AWS Lambda now supports a 90-minute function timeout for asynchronous and event source mapping (ESM) invocations on Lambda Managed Instances, a 6x increase from the previous 15-minute limit. Data processing, media transcoding, AI inference, and batch workloads can now run on Lambda without re-architecting.
Bring your own client certificate for backend mTLS in Amazon API Gateway
Enterprises that use Amazon API Gateway often want to bring their own client certificate for backend mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication. With API Gateway, you can now use a third-party or AWS Private CA-issued client certificate for the outbound mTLS handshake. In this post, you build a REST API with an outbound mTLS connection to an Amazon ECS backend.
Amazon Linux default SSM parameter will now track the latest kernel
The Amazon Linux kernel-default SSM parameter now updates to point to the latest kernel version as new releases become available. This post explains what this means for your workloads and how to manage the transition.
Set up your AI coding agent to build with AWS Step Functions
AWS Step Functions has added a Copy agent prompt button to the console that configures your AI coding agent with Step Functions skills and an MCP server in one step. Paste the prompt into Claude Code, Kiro CLI, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible agent and start building workflows with natural language.
Introducing public preview runtimes on AWS Lambda, starting with Node.js 26 and Python 3.15
AWS Lambda introduces public preview runtimes, a new way to try upcoming language versions before GA. Start using Node.js 26 and Python 3.15 today, provide feedback, and help shape runtime quality before general availability.
