AWS Lambda now supports function-level configuration for recursive loop detection

By

AWS Lambda now supports function-level configuration which allows you to disable or enable recursive loop detection. Lambda recursive loop detection, which is enabled by default, is a preventative guardrail that automatically detects and stops recursive invocations between Lambda and other supported services, preventing runaway workloads.

Before, customers running intentionally recursive patterns could only turn off recursive loop detection on a per-account basis through AWS Support. Now customers can disable or enable recursive loop detection on a per-function basis, allowing them to run their intentionally recursive workflows while protecting the remaining functions in their account from runaway workloads caused by unintended recursive invocations.

These new API actions are available in all AWS Regions where recursive loop detection is supported. You can set your function’s recursion configuration programmatically, as a parameter in your CloudFormation template, or within the AWS Lambda Console.

To learn more about Lambda’s new recursive loop detection API actions, please refer to Lambda’s API reference or the launch blog post .
 

Amazon Connect in-app, web, and video calling is now available in Africa (Cape Town) region

By

Amazon Connect now provides in-app and web voice and video calling capabilities in Africa (Cape Town) region, making it easier to deliver more personalized voice and video experiences in your websites and mobile applications. These voice and video capabilities allow customers to contact you without having to leave your website or mobile application. You can use these capabilities to pass contextual information to Amazon Connect, enabling you to personalize the customer experience based on attributes such as the customer’s profile, authentication status, or actions previously taken within the app.
Using the fully managed communication widget, you can implement these new voice and video calling capabilities with as little as a single line of code. You can also create a fully custom experience for your customers by leveraging the SDK.

Amazon S3 now supports conditional writes

By

Amazon S3 adds support for conditional writes that can check for the existence of an object before creating it. This capability can help you more easily prevent applications from overwriting any existing objects when uploading data. You can perform conditional writes using PutObject or CompleteMultipartUpload API requests in both general purpose and directory buckets.

Using conditional writes, you can simplify how distributed applications with multiple clients concurrently update data in parallel across shared datasets. Each client can conditionally write objects, making sure that it does not overwrite any objects already written by another client. This means you no longer need to build any client-side consensus mechanisms to coordinate updates or use additional API requests to check for the presence of an object before uploading data. Instead, you can reliably offload such validations to S3, enabling better performance and efficiency for large-scale analytics, distributed machine learning, and other highly parallelized workloads. To use conditional writes, you can add the HTTP if-none-match conditional header along with PutObject and CompleteMultipartUpload API requests.

This feature is available at no additional charge in all AWS Regions, including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and the AWS China Regions. You can use the AWS SDK, API, or CLI to perform conditional writes. To learn more about conditional writes, visit the S3 User Guide .
