In Part 1 of our blog posts for .NET Aspire and AWS Lambda, we showed you how .NET Aspire can be used for running and debugging .NET Lambda functions. In this part, Part 2, we’ll show you how to take advantage of the .NET Aspire programming model for best practices and for connecting dependent resources […]

In a recent post we gave some background on .NET Aspire and introduced our AWS integrations with .NET Aspire that integrate AWS into the .NET dev inner loop for building applications. The integrations included how to provision application resources with AWS CloudFormation or AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) and using Amazon DynamoDB local for […]

.NET Aspire is a new way of building cloud-ready applications. In particular, it provides an orchestration for local environments in which to run, connect, and debug the components of distributed applications. Those components can be .NET projects, databases, containers, or executables. .NET Aspire is designed to have integrations with common components used in distributed applications. […]

We are announcing support for JSON structured logging for the .NET managed runtime. This makes the .NET managed runtime compatible with the previously announced logging controls for AWS Lambda, allowing you to toggle logging format and log levels using the Lambda API. Formatting log messages as JSON documents makes it easier to search, filter, and […]

Starting with version 3.7.400, the AWS SDK for .NET added significant observability enhancements. It introduced powerful tracing and metrics capabilities with OpenTelemetry support, an industry-standard for observability. With these enhancements, developers can now gain deeper insights into their applications’ behavior, from tracking API call durations to monitoring system metrics. In this blog post, we’ll guide […]

In February 2024, AWS SDK for .NET team announced changes to the minimum .NET target versions the AWS SDK for .NET will support. The major changes announced were ending support for .NET Framework 3.5 and changing the minimum .NET Framework to 4.6.2. In June we revised the blog post with the .NET Framework minimum set […]

We are happy to announce the developer preview release of the AWS Message Processing Framework for .NET. This is an AWS-native framework that simplifies the development of .NET message-processing applications that use AWS services such as Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS), Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS), and Amazon EventBridge. The framework is designed […]

Update June 20th, 2024: Initially this announcement specified the minimum .NET Framework version would change to 4.6.2. During the development of this work we determined that 4.7.2 would be a better minimum target framework for the long term direction of the SDK. With 4.7.2 the SDK has access to more crypto algorithms that we will […]

The AWS SDK for .NET includes the Document and Object Persistence programming models, which provide an idiomatic .NET experience for working with Amazon DynamoDB. Beginning in AWSSDK.DynamoDBv2 3.7.203, there are new ways to initialize the document and object persistence models which can improve your application’s performance by reducing thread contention and throttling issues during the first call to DynamoDB. […]

We are happy to announce the general availability of the Lambda Annotations Framework for .NET. This new programming model makes the experience of writing Lambda in C# feel more natural for .NET developers by using C# Source Generators. In this post we’ll show how to use framework to simplifying writing .NET Lambda functions that are […]
