AWS AppSync Events just added support for Lambda functions as data sources, meaning you can now filter, persist, and enrich events sent to namespaces. Excited to finally share that we're launching a new resolver to Powertools for AWS Lambda to help you write these functions!

Over the weekend I decided to add analytics to my personal website. My budget was $0 so I went for self-hosting Umami on a VM. It was a fun project and I got to learn about Traefik, a proxy that might replace nginx in my future projects. This is how I set it up.

I am excited to announce that you can now enable Logger Buffering in Powertools for AWS Lambda Python and TypeScript. This is useful when you want to reduce the number of log messages emitted while still having detailed logs when needed, such as when troubleshooting issues.

The @vercel.com AI SDK is pretty cool. Was able to go from zero to pull request in no time, great abstractions!

I noticed it didn't have support for generating images with @awscloud.bsky.social newer Nova model, so I added it.

These customization hooks are run for modules loaded by require(), import(), and functions returned by createRequire() in the same thread they are registered, which makes them easier for CJS monkey-patchers to migrate to.

I will be at the Modern Applications and Open Source Zone to talk about Powertools for AWS between 4 & 5pm. Come to say hi!

Don’t miss this one!

AWS Lambda just shipped the Node.js 22 managed runtime, just in time for pre:Invent!

You can use this runtime in all commercial regions, and of course with Powertools for AWS Lambda (TypeScript), SAM, and CDK.

In the age of AI, short form video and hot takes, the competitive advantage of the future is the ability to go deep, read the docs, build something new, learn hard things that take time.

Building with AppSync Events API, after some initial hiccups on the client side I finally managed to get a fully self-signed client free pub/sub end to end. Will publish a post in the next days most probably

I guess we’re giving this place a try again l, see if it sticks
