AWS Lambda Response Streaming Demo

2023-07-13T20:17:08+00:00

Introduction Response streaming is a new invocation method that enables your functions to progressively stream response payloads back to the clients. Instead of waiting for the entire data to be ready, your applications can now receive chunks of data as soon as they become available. This means faster loading times and a more responsive user experience. Response Streaming vs. Non-Streaming (Buffering) To quickly get an idea of how it works, we need to see it in action. Below, we show two functions that have the simple task of displaying a message in HTML. The non-streaming function introduces a delay of [...]

Setting Up AWS Billing Alerts on Slack

2023-06-16T03:19:15+00:00

Introduction Let's first get familiar with the AWS Cost Explorer. It's essentially a dedicated financial advisor for your AWS expenses, helping you make sense of where your spending goes. With an easy-to-use interface, AWS Cost Explorer provides detailed visual analytics of your past, present, and predicted AWS usage and costs.   Why Slack for AWS bill? We've all been there, trying to stay on top of our monthly bills. AWS does provide budget alerts, which are pretty handy in preventing spending overruns.

Retrieving Parameter Values from SSM Parameter Store through AWS Lambda

2023-03-27T04:01:09+00:00

In today's world, serverless computing is gaining popularity as it offers technologies for running code, managing data, and integrating applications, all without managing servers. It eliminates the infrastructure management tasks so developers can focus on application development. One of the requirements of serverless development is storage for configuration data management and secrets management. Developers need to store data such as passwords, database strings, etc., at some point. Luckily, Parameter Store, a capability of AWS Systems Manager, provides secure, hierarchical storage for configuration data management and secrets management that works well in serverless development. Developers can store values as plain text [...]

Reduce The Cost Of Your Lambda Functions With Event Filters (Part 2 of 2)

2023-04-27T03:15:40+00:00

Introduction In the first part of this post, we covered the concept behind event filtering in AWS Lambda and learned how it could help you save money by invoking functions only when necessary. Now it's time to put that knowledge into practice. In this part 2, we’ll see event filtering in action using Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) as the event source. Overview A user sends a JSON message to the SQS queue. Event source mapping picks up the message from the queue and evaluates it against the specified filtering criteria. Event source mapping invokes the Lambda function synchronously when [...]

Reduce The Cost Of Your Lambda Functions With Event Filters (Part 1 of 2)

2023-04-27T03:17:39+00:00

Problem statement You are primarily billed based on how long your Lambda functions run and how often it is invoked. This is why AWS Lambda is great for scheduled jobs, short-duration tasks, and event-based processes. But does this mean you shouldn’t use them for high-volume traffic applications? Well, the short answer is... it depends. Whether or not to use AWS Lambda for high-volume traffic workloads ultimately depends on the requirements of your application and the cost trade-off you're willing to make. Regardless, if you ever find yourself wanting to use Lambda in a high-activity application like stream processing, it’s good [...]

Build Your Own Slack Commands with Lambda Function URL

2023-04-27T03:33:47+00:00

What are Lambda Function URLs? In the past, calling a Lambda function over HTTP required a lot of setup and configuration with API Gateway. The process of setting up API resources and methods, and linking them to the appropriate Lambda function, can be overwhelming, especially for developers who are new to it. With the function URL feature of the AWS Lambda service, you can create a secure HTTPS endpoint dedicated to a Lambda function. This means that instead of using an intermediary service (like Amazon API Gateway), you can directly invoke your function by simply sending an HTTP request to [...]
