Validate Your Lambda Runtime with CloudFormation Lambda Hooks
Introduction This post demonstrates how to leverage AWS CloudFormation Lambda Hooks to enforce compliance rules at provisioning time, enabling you to evaluate and validate Lambda function configurations against custom policies before deployment. Often these policies impact the way a software should be built, restricting language versions and runtimes. A great example is applying those policies […]
Proactively validate your AWS CloudFormation templates with AWS Lambda
AWS CloudFormation is a service that allows you to define, manage, and provision your AWS cloud infrastructure using code. To enhance this process and ensure your infrastructure meets your organization’s standards, AWS offers CloudFormation Hooks. These Hooks are extension points that allow you to invoke custom logic at specific points during CloudFormation stack operations, enabling […]
Introducing the new Amazon Q Developer experience in AWS Lambda
AWS Lambda recently announced a new code editor based on Code-OSS. Like the previous version, the new editor includes Amazon Q Developer. Amazon Q Developer is a generative AI-powered assistant for software development that can help you build and debug Lambda functions more quickly. In this post, I provide an overview of Amazon Q Developer’s […]
Refactoring to Serverless: From Application to Automation
Refactor serverless apps by swapping application code with cloud automation: reduce costs, decouple logic from architecture, and leverage managed services’ native capabilities.
Best practices working with self-hosted GitHub Action runners at scale on AWS
Note: Customers no longer need to manage their own GitHub runners, you can now use AWS CodeBuild for managed GitHub Actions self-hosted runners, which provides ephemeral and scalable runner environment with strong security boundaries and low start up latency. With AWS CodeBuild, you don’t need to maintain your own infrastructure or build scaling logic, as […]
Best practices for managing Terraform State files in AWS CI/CD Pipeline
Introduction Today customers want to reduce manual operations for deploying and maintaining their infrastructure. The recommended method to deploy and manage infrastructure on AWS is to follow Infrastructure-As-Code (IaC) model using tools like AWS CloudFormation, AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) or Terraform. One of the critical components in terraform is managing the state file which […]

Implementing automatic drift detection in CDK Pipelines using Amazon EventBridge
The AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) is a popular open source toolkit that allows developers to create their cloud infrastructure using high level programming languages. AWS CDK comes bundled with a construct called CDK Pipelines that makes it easy to set up continuous integration, delivery, and deployment with AWS CodePipeline. The CDK Pipelines construct […]
Create a CI/CD pipeline for .NET Lambda functions with AWS CDK Pipelines
The AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) is an open-source software development framework to define cloud infrastructure in familiar programming languages and provision it through AWS CloudFormation. In this blog post, we will explore the process of creating a Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline for a .NET AWS Lambda function using the CDK Pipelines. We […]
