In a previous blog post we built QuickSight Datasets by directly loading files from S3. In the wild the data in S3 is often already aggregated or even transformed in Athena. In this new blog post we see how to create a QuickSight Dataset directly relying on Athena. - by Franck Awounang Nekdem

In this post I’ll show you how to trigger your Lambda functions in intervals smaller than a minute using StepFunctions and the CDK. - by Maurice Borgmeier

Detect the crack in the window (or the lambda library) before it breaks: As we have seen during the last month, also well known libraries like log4j can have previously unknown vulnerabilities. Therefore scanning your Lambda application before deploying is not enough! What happens if a new cybersecurity vulnerability occurs while your functions are running? Solution: Amazon Inspector.

Want to know how set up Lambda & Inspector and see how evil Node vulnerabilities are detected? Read on! - by Gernot Glawe
