Today, AWS announces the open-source AWS Serverless Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, a tool that combines the power of AI assistance with serverless expertise to enhance how developers build modern applications. The Serverless MCP Server provides contextual guidance specific to serverless development, helping developers make informed decisions about architecture, implementation, and deployment. This post describes how the Serverless MCP Server works with AI coding assistants to streamline serverless development.

In this post, you learn how to use AWS AppSync Events to modernize your applications by bridging synchronous and asynchronous communication patterns without requiring significant changes to your existing frontend code.

Enterprise cloud environments are growing increasingly complex as they scale, with organizations managing hundreds to thousands of Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounts across multiple business units and AWS Regions. Organizations need efficient ways to collect, transport, and analyze activity data for threat detection and compliance monitoring. In this post, you will learn to use AWS CloudTrail and Amazon EventBridge for real-time cloud activity monitoring and automated response.

AWS Outposts supports self-service capacity management at the entire Outpost level, or at the individual asset level, making it easy for you to view and manage compute capacity on your Outposts. The release of Asset Level Capacity Management allows you to control the configuration of specific assets within your Outpost, which can be useful when planning strategies for EC2 Auto Scaling groups and host-level high availability. This post focuses on how to use Asset Level Capacity Management to perform single-host reconfigurations, and how this can be used with Amazon EC2 placement groups to control instance placement on your Outpost.

Currently, the federation plugin on Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ connects to publicly available upstream brokers only. This post explains how to implement federation for Amazon MQ RabbitMQ Private Brokers using Network Load Balancers (NLB). The steps allow private brokers to communicate with each other to create a distributed system.

Amazon API Gateway can provide a single-entry point for all incoming API requests for Hybrid Workloads. It provides a layer of abstraction between the API consumers and the backend services, allowing for centralized control. Routing all traffic through the API Gateway lets builders centrally enforce authentication, authorization, rate limiting, and other security features. This blog post describes how to configure API Gateway as an entry point to your on-premises resources.

This blog demonstrates how to leverage Amazon S3 presigned URLs to allow your users to securely upload files to S3 without requiring explicit permissions in the AWS Account. This blog post specifically focuses on the security ramifications of using S3 presigned URLs, and explains mitigation steps that serverless developers can take to improve the security of their systems using S3 presigned URLs.

Amazon DCV has evolved as a powerful remote display protocol, enabling secure high-performance remote desktop access and application streaming. This blog talks about how DCV remote display capabilities are now integrated with Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023).

In this post, you will learn methods for network monitoring in AWS Lambda functions and how to apply them to your scenarios.

Effective logging is an important part of an observability strategy when building serverless applications using AWS Lambda. Lambda automatically captures and sends logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs. This allows you to focus on building application logic rather than setting up logging infrastructure and allows operators to troubleshoot failures and performance issues more easily. On May […]
