Some Friday fun, in response to the poll I put out on Tuesday about deterministic code, I wrote a blog about what I learned -> dev.to/aws/is-this-...

Ok, so Gracie (#5) has created her own YouTube channel called “No Thumbs All Fun”. Yeah, she has her dad’s humor. If you like fun and a bit of weird, check it out. youtube.com/@nothumbsall...

It was so much fun deep diving on AWS Lambda durable functions with @embano1.mgasch.com at this year's re:Invent! And now we are doing it again and YOU get to ask questions! Join us tomorrow for "Serverless Office Hours | AWS Lambda durable functions". Watch us at twitch.tv/aws at 11 AM Pacific.

Kansas City! I am literally on a plane to come see you! I am speaking on #Serverless and #GenAI at the Kansas City AWS UG! Tomorrow night! Come hear about Agents, MCP Servers, and all the other GenAI buzzwords I can think of! www.meetup.com/awskcug/even...

I'll be speaking on hashtag#Serverless and hashtag#GenAI at CoudSummit.ca. We are running a workshop on "Building Agentic Workflows on Serverless". If you are attending the summit, register and join us! If you are not attending the summit... Attend the summit!😁

#AWSStepFunctions + #JSONata = fewer transitions! An example calculating the average CSAT (Customer Satisfaction) score for an event $states.result.Items[type.S = 'CSAT'].csatEvent.S ~> $map(function($v) {$number($v)}) ~> $average ~> $round(2)

Tip for #GenAI in #AWSStepFunctions. By using a pass state to format the input and the Bedrock Converse task, I can easily add multiple models to compare outputs. In the converse task, I simply change the desired model.

Hey Kansas City AWS UG (@awskc.bsky.social), I'm bringing #Serverless and #GenAI to your UG on Wed May 14! For more info -> www.meetup.com/awskcug/even...

In about 30 minutes, I am hosting my first #ContainersFromTheCouch! We are discussing ECS Service Connect! I would love to see you! www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xU7...

Today on #Serverless Office Hours, I'll be showing you how I code locally. Some #AWSSam, #AWSToolKit, #WorkflowStudio, #Bedrock, so on and so forth. Learn some tips and tricks and teach me some too. Meet me at 11 AM PT on twitch.tv/aws

Today's Serverless Office Hours: Norm Johanson, show a developer preview for local Lambda support in a .NET idiomatic experience. Learn to use the .NET Aspire app host to orchestrate Lambda functions in serverless apps & an API Gateway emulator to run functions on REST API. 11 AM PT twitch.tv/aws

Ok, a while back I created a video showing how #StepFunctions and #EventBridge can call private endpoints in a VPC WITHOUT using a proxy. My buddies Pawan and Vamsi created a blog to help out! aws.amazon.com/blogs/comput...

Had a great livestream with Michael and Ashish on direct integration with private endpoints from Step Functions. Here are a few promised resources. Show: www.youtube.com/live/LqhnA_M... reInvent: - www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRgw... - www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YoK... repo: s12d.com/private-direct

Hey #Serverless in just 15 minutes I am joining folks from the Step Function/EventBridge/VPC teams to deep dive into how Step Functions and EventBridge can now connect directly to private endpoints in a VPC with VPC Lattice and Private Link. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lqhn...

I am so excited! AWS Step Functions WorkFlow Studio is now part of the AWS Toolkit! Yup, that's an ASL file opened in VSCode. And ... That's me running a test state locally against resources in the AWS Cloud! Oh, and in case you were wondering, Amazon Q is GREAT with JSONata.

I can't wait for this! Come and learn how #Serverless is the perfect tool to speed up your GenAI development cycle.

Ok check it out, if you are interested in getting rid of those proxies when calling private APIs from Step Functions or EventBridge, I made a video -> www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVO5...

Hey #Serverless developers, many of you asked me if AWS SAM is still a thing. In all fairness, we backed off a bit over the last year. However, I'm happy to say I just met with our dedicated team that is STOMPING on the gas to pump out some really cool things for Serverless Development. Stay tuned!!

Each AI model needs its own prompting approach - like how different makeup brushes are designed for specific tasks. You wouldn't use an eyeliner brush for blush! I've turned my Nova experiments into a field guide with templates, patterns & examples you can use today!

This should be cool!

If you are an AMAZON WEB SERVICES (AWS) #Serverless fan, We will be discussing all the new Serverless releases from reInvent! Staring in just a few minutes. Catch it on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aiK...

Hey Denver #Serverless folks, I'll be at the "State of Serverless/Lightening Rounds" on Thursday the 27! I'd love to see you there too! www.meetup.com/serverlessda...

Here's a Friday fun moment: #AWSStepFunctions just released support for JSON Lines (JSONL) as a format for Distributed maps. Take a read -> aws.amazon.com/blogs/comput...

Having just wrestled with this and learning how to use overrides on L1 constructs, this comes as a nice surprise! #AWSCDK L2 Construct for AWS AppSync Events API!! Whoop whoop! aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wh...

Great quality of life EventBridge release! All AWS events are now documented in the console. Much easier to build rules with search/filter.

Speaking of JSONata in #AWSStepFunctions. Here's a handy little snippet. Add a timestamp dynamically to your payload while saving it as a variable for later.

Hey #serverless, if you missed any AWS Serverless releases from Q4 2024, we have you covered! Julian Wood and I pulled these together for you! aws.amazon.com/blogs/comput...

I finally took the time to move from Docker to Finch. It was pretty straight forward: 1. Install finch (runfinch.com) 2. Tell CDK: echo "export CDK_DOCKER=finch" >> ~/.zshrc Just getting started with it, but seems to be seemless.

Join us this Wednesday on @vbrownbag.com for a chat with @jldeen.dev to learn some GitHub Actions tips & tricks! P.s. Note the time change! 630pm Central

Check out my re:Invent 2024 talk with Heeki Park on best practices for serverless application security. #reinvent youtu.be/jYbfQ07Z7rM?...
