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.

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.

Learn how to use Amazon EventBridge Scheduler to deliver email campaigns at per-recipient optimal send times. This post shows how to create one schedule per recipient with zero idle compute cost, scale schedule creation with AWS Step Functions Distributed Map, and deliver through Amazon SES.

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.

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.

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.

Feature toggles allow you to change application behavior in real time without deploying new code. Learn how to implement dynamic feature flags with AWS AppConfig on AWS Lambda for safe deployments, gradual rollouts, and instant rollback.

Learn observability best practices for AWS Lambda durable functions, including CloudWatch metrics, custom alarms, structured logging, and X-Ray tracing for debugging callback timeouts end-to-end.

Learn how to collect CPU and memory metrics from AWS Lambda MicroVMs using the CloudWatch Agent. Configure telegraf and OTel to monitor and right-size your workloads.

Learn how to prevent correlated hardware failures in distributed systems on Amazon EC2. This post walks through real incident response patterns, including Partition Placement Groups, composite alarms, automated recovery with Auto Scaling, and observability best practices.
