Choosing between storage mechanisms for ML inferencing with AWS Lambda
This post is written by Veda Raman, SA Serverless, Casey Gerena, Sr Lab Engineer, Dan Fox, Principal Serverless SA. For real-time machine learning inferencing, customers often have several machine learning models trained for specific use-cases. For each inference request, the model must be chosen dynamically based on the input parameters. This blog post walks through the architecture […]
Choosing between AWS Lambda data storage options in web apps
In this post, I compare the capabilities and use-cases of S3, EFS, Lambda layers, and temporary storage for Lambda functions. There are benefits to each approach, as each type has different behaviors and characteristics.
Pay as you go machine learning inference with AWS Lambda
In this blog post, you train an XGBoost breast cancer model using Python packages installed on an Amazon EFS file system. You create an AWS Lambda function that loads the Python packages and the model from EFS file system, and perform the predictions.
Building deep learning inference with AWS Lambda and Amazon EFS
This post shows how you can use EFS for Lambda to deploy large DL libraries and models into a function for synchronous invocations.

Every quarter, we share all of the most recent product launches, feature enhancements, blog posts, webinars, Twitch live streams, and other interesting things that you might have missed! In case you missed our last ICYMI, checkout what happened […]
Using Amazon EFS for AWS Lambda in your serverless applications
Serverless applications are event-driven, using ephemeral compute functions to integrate services and transform data. While AWS Lambda includes a 512-MB temporary file system for your code, this is an ephemeral scratch resource not intended for durable storage. Amazon EFS is a fully managed, elastic, shared file system designed to be consumed by other AWS services, […]
Cost Optimize your Jenkins CI/CD pipelines using EC2 Spot Instances
Author: Rajesh Kesaraju, Sr. Specialist Solution Architect, EC2 Spot Instances In this blog post, I go over using Amazon EC2 Spot Instances on continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) workloads, via the popular open-source automation server Jenkins. I also break down the steps required to adopt Spot Instances into your CI/CD pipelines for cost optimization purposes. In this blog, I explain […]
Amazon ECS and Docker volume drivers, part 2: Amazon EFS
← Introduction and Part 1: Amazon EBS Post by: Tiffany Jernigan and Jeremy Cowan Introduction This is the second post in a series showing how to use Docker volumes with Amazon ECS. If you are unfamiliar with Docker volumes or REX-Ray, or want to know how to use a volume plugin with ECS and […]
Event-Driven Computing with Amazon SNS and AWS Compute, Storage, Database, and Networking Services
Contributed by Otavio Ferreira, Manager, Software Development, AWS Messaging Like other developers around the world, you may be tackling increasingly complex business problems. A key success factor, in that case, is the ability to break down a large project scope into smaller, more manageable components. A service-oriented architecture guides you toward designing systems as a collection of […]
