AWS Lambda SnapStart replaces the Init Duration with a Restore Duration. One could argue that this is merely a name change and that cold starts remain an issue. In this video, let's explore whether this is true, under what circumstances, and when you should consider SnapStart for your AWS Lambda Functions.

One of the biggest concerns around AWS Lambda has been cold starts. A cold start is the initial delay when a Lambda function is first invoked or after a period of inactivity. AWS Lambda SnapStart is a performance optimization that speeds up startup times for Lambda Functions, typically with no changes to your function code. In this video, let's ▪ Learn about AWS Lambda SnapStart ▪ Understand how Lambda SnapStart works. ▪ Explore using Runtime hooks with SnapStart. ▪ Discover how to make your function SnapStart ready.

@nickchapsas One more reason not to write tests.

@mjovanovictech Yeah same

@thehighpony I dropped you a DM in case you missed it. Thank you!

What happens to messages that fail repeatedly in your application queues? Are they gone forever? Not if you’re using a Dead Letter Queue (DLQ)! In my latest video, I cover: • What is a DLQ? • Why are DLQs important? • Key benefits Using Amazon SQS, I demonstrate how DLQs work with concepts applicable to most queuing systems.

How do you do a full-text search on the data in your DynamoDB database? The simple answer is that you don’t. DynamoDB excels at fast key-value and document queries but isn’t built for complex full-text search, like ranking or relevance filtering. In this video, let’s learn how to perform a full-text search on DynamoDB from a .NET application. Since DynamoDB is not best suited for advanced querying and full-text search capabilities, we will first get the data from our DynamoDB Table into AWS OpenSearch and then query it from there. This video focuses on how to connect and query data from OpenSearch using .NET.

How do you do a full-text search on the data in your DynamoDB database? The simple answer is... ...You don’t. Choose the right tool for the right job. 👇Keep Reading: Amazon OpenSearch is optimized for complex full-text search and analytics, offering capabilities like relevance scoring, autocomplete, and advanced filtering. Let's learn how to set up the DynamoDB Zero ETL plugin for OpenSearch, a fully managed, no-code setup for ingesting data into Amazon OpenSearch Service.

Amazon S3 now supports ETags for conditional writes. This is a game-changer for teams managing concurrent writes to the same objects. 👉 Video - This new feature ensures updates happen only if the content hasn't changed, reducing the risk of accidental overwrites. In my latest video, I’ll cover: 🛠 How ETags work 📄 Using the If-Match header for S3 Updates 🔐 Using bucket policies to enforce passing If-Match headers This feature is essential for managing collaborative workflows and improving the reliability of your S3 operations.

How do you do a full-text search on the data in your DynamoDB database? The simple answer is that you don’t. DynamoDB excels at fast key-value and document queries but isn’t built for complex full-text search, like ranking or relevance filtering. Attempting this on DynamoDB leads to performance issues, higher costs, and extra development work. This is where Amazon OpenSearch excels. It’s optimized for complex full-text search and analytics, offering capabilities like relevance scoring, autocomplete, and advanced filtering. With DynamoDB’s Zero ETL integration, you can seamlessly index the data in DynamoDB into OpenSearch. In this video, let’s learn how to set up DynamoDB zero-ETL integration with Amazon OpenSearch Service.

One AWS CDK to rule them all! Developing and testing AWS applications locally can be challenging without the right tools. AWS CDK makes deploying and managing resources effortless. And when combined with LocalStack, it allows for a smooth local development experience. In this post, we'll explore ✅ Setup CDK ✅ Deploy CDK To LocalStack ✅ Deploy CDK to AWS Cloud Let's learn how 👇

Testing against live AWS services can be costly, time-consuming, and sometimes impractical when building cloud-based applications. This is where @localstack  comes in. LocalStack is a fully functional local AWS cloud stack that lets you emulate AWS services directly on your machine. In this article, you’ll learn how to: • Set up and use LocalStack to simulate AWS services locally. • Build a .NET application that interacts with DynamoDB, SQS, and Lambda. • Configure LocalStack and integrate it into your development workflow. • Test and debug your application locally without deploying it to AWS. Let’s dive in!

The AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) simplifies cloud infrastructure management. CDK lets you define AWS resources using first-class programming concepts. It translates your code into AWS CloudFormation templates, which can be used to provision AWS resources for your application. In this article, we will learn. • Core CDK Concepts • Setup and Install CDK • Create your First CDK Project • Define App, Stack, and Resources • Deploy Application to AWS using CDK

Let's learn how to import existing AWS resources into a CDK Stack. In today’s video, we explore the powerful CDK import feature and show you how to integrate existing resources into your CDK stacks seamlessly. Here’s what we cover: ✅ Introduction to cdk import ✅Import AWS resources manually ✅ Import AWS resources using cdk import Let's dive in👇
