Streamline container application networking with built-in Amazon ECS support in Amazon VPC Lattice
Since its launch, Amazon VPC Lattice has streamlined complex networking tasks. As a result, my perspective on how to build and connect modern, multi-service applications has changed. As my colleague Danilo wrote in his post announcing the general availability of VPC Lattice: “By using VPC Lattice, you can focus on your application logic and improve productivity and deployment flexibility with consistent support for instances, containers, and serverless computing.” Today, we’re announcing Amazon VPC Lattice built-in support for Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS). With this new built-in integration, Amazon ECS services can now be directly associated with VPC Lattice target groups without the need for intermediate load balancers. Here’s a quick look at how you can find Amazon VPC Lattice…
AWS Lambda SnapStart for Python and .NET functions is now generally available
Today, we’re announcing the general availability of AWS Lambda SnapStart for Python and .NET functions that delivers faster function startup performance, from several seconds to as low as sub-second, typically with minimal or no code changes in Python, C#, F#, and Powershell. In November 28, 2022, we introduced Lambda SnapStart for Java functions to improve startup performance by up to 10 times. With Lambda SnapStart, you can reduce outlier latencies that come from initializing functions, without having to provision resources or spend time implementing complex performance optimizations. Lambda SnapStart works by caching and reusing the snapshotted memory and disk state of any one-time initialization code, or code that runs only the first time a Lambda function is invoked. Lambda takes…
Build and modify apps using natural language with AWS App Studio, now generally available
Announced as preview in July, AWS App Studio is a generative AI-powered application development service that enables users to create applications using natural language, without the need for professional software development skills. In that post, I covered how AWS App Studio helps you build secure, scalable applications and eliminates operational overhead by fully managing each application. App Studio empowers a new set of builders to create business applications. Whether you are an IT Project Manager, Data Engineer, Enterprise Architect, or Solution Architect, simply describe your requirements in natural language, within minutes, App Studio generates fully functional applications complete with multipage UIs, data models, and custom business logic. Today, we’re excited to announce that AWS App Studio is now generally available…
