Previewing environments using containerized AWS Lambda functions

This post is written by John Ritsema (Principal Solutions Architect) Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines are effective mechanisms that allow teams to turn source code into running applications. When a developer makes a code change and pushes it to a remote repository, a pipeline with a series of steps can process the change. […]

Best practices for working with the Apache Velocity Template Language in HAQM API Gateway

This post is written by Ben Freiberg, Senior Solutions Architect, and Markus Ziller, Senior Solutions Architect. One of the most common serverless patterns are APIs built with HAQM API Gateway and AWS Lambda. This approach is supported by many different frameworks across many languages. However, direct integration with AWS can enable customers to increase the […]
