Migrating a Web App to AWS Lambda with Lambda Web Adapter

As developers, we all seek to build web applications that can scale seamlessly, adapt to changing needs and do so without incurring excessive costs. One way to achieve this is by migrating web applications to AWS Lambda, which can provide scalability, flexibility, and cost savings. To make this process even easier, AWS provides the Lambda web adapter, a simple and efficient tool that enables you to migrate your web apps quickly.

Distributed Tracing for AWS CDK Applications

The AWS CDK lets users build as Infrastructure as Code (IaC) reliable, scalable, and cost-effective applications in their cloud environments. With the AWS CDK, developers can use various supported programming languages to create constructs (reusable cloud components) and compose them together into stacks and applications.

Return large objects with AWS Lambda's new Streaming Response

Lambda has a size limit of 6MB on request and response payloads for synchronous invocations. This affects API functions and how much data you are able to send and receive from a Lambda-backed API endpoint. I have previously written about several workarounds on the request payload limit. But sometimes you also need to return a payload bigger than 6MB. For example, PDF or image files.

Announcing support for monitoring AWS Lambda Function URLs with Datadog

AWS Lambda Function URLs make it even easier to create AWS Lambda functions that can be accessed and triggered by using HTTP/S requests, which is key for building serverless applications that are connected to and invoked from the web. Now you can generate a URL in one click that points to a specified Lambda function. Then, any HTTP/S request that a Function URL receives will trigger the Lambda function it’s assigned to.

Troubleshooting Intermittent Failure in Amazon ECS apps

A distributed system is a system whose components are located on different networked computers, which communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages to one another. The components interact in a decentralized manner and work together to achieve a common goal. Working with distributed systems is challenging, because failure often spreads between components and debugging across multiple components is difficult and time-consuming.
