This post gives an overview of how to build applications using the updated Docker + WASM technical preview, along with some observability best practices.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers over 200 services. But AWS Lambda continues to stand out for several reasons. This AWS Lambda tutorial will help explain Lambda in simple terms so you can decide if the service is suitable for your computing needs. We’ll cover what exactly AWS Lambda is, how it works, how it compares to EC2, use cases, benefits, limitations, and more. Additionally, we’ll cover how you can monitor and manage your Lambda costs without the burden of cost management.

Unfortunately, no Logic App connector can make the bridge to RabbitMQ, which makes this integration challenge a little bit more complicated. However, we have the ability to create an Azure Function by using the RabbitMQ trigger for Azure Functions to overcome this limitation. The purpose of this POC is to receive a message in a RabbitMQ queue, and that event triggers an Azure Function, which fires a Logic App.

In this post, we will compare two of Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) most popular computing services: AWS Lambda and Amazon EC2. Both services offer unique advantages and can be used for different purposes.

Lambda allows you to allocate memory for your functions in increments of 1 MB, ranging from a minimum of 128 MB to a maximum of 10,240 MB (10 GB). When we specify the memory size for a Lambda function, AWS will allocate CPU proportionally. For example, a 256 MB function will receive twice the processing power of a 128 MB function.

As organizations increasingly adopt serverless architectures and embrace the benefits of microservices, managing logs in this dynamic environment presents unique challenges. In this blog, we’re taking a closer look at the differences between serverless and traditional log management, as well as 8 challenges associated with log management for serverless microservices.

This July, the community spirit was profoundly vibrant in the scenic city of Munich, as Kubernetes Community Day (KCD) Munich brought together a meeting of minds and inspired the open-source collaboration we all know and love. The event was a testament to the strength and vitality of the Kubernetes community, which pulsed with an energy of shared intellectual curiosity and passion for all things Kubernetes.

AJ Stuyvenberg is a Staff Engineer at Datadog and an AWS Serverless Hero. A version of this post was originally published on his blog. In AWS Lambda, a cold start occurs when a function is invoked and an idle, initialized sandbox is not ready to receive the request. Features like Provisioned Concurrency and SnapStart are designed to reduce cold starts by pre-initializing execution environments.

This is the second blog in our deep dive series on serverless architectures. In the first installment, we explored the benefits and trade-offs of microservices and serverless architectures, highlighting the case of Amazon Prime Video's architectural redesign for cost optimization.
