One of the most notable updates is the enhancement to AWS Lambda, which now supports Node.js 22.x as a managed runtime and container base image [1]. Additionally, Lambda SnapStart is now available for Python and .NET managed runtimes, beginning with python3.12 and dotnet8 [2]. This feature aims to reduce startup time for these functions without the need for additional resources or complex performance optimizations.
AWS Lambda also supports customer-managed encryption for .zip deployment packages, enabling users to encrypt their deployment packages using AWS KMS customer managed keys [3]. Furthermore, Lambda SnapStart is now available in several new regions, including Europe (Spain), Europe (Zurich), Asia Pacific (Melbourne), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad), and Middle East (UAE) [4].
DynamoDB has seen improvements in its performance and scalability, while SNS offers better integration with AWS Lambda, allowing for more efficient event-driven architectures. CloudFront has received enhancements to its edge computing capabilities, providing improved latency and performance for content delivery. EC2 instances now support Graviton2 for functions using the arm64 architecture, offering better performance and cost efficiency [5].
Amazon SES has been updated to provide better deliverability and tracking features, making it easier for users to manage their email campaigns. Amazon Q Developer CLI introduces custom CLI agents, allowing developers to automate repetitive tasks and streamline their workflows.
These updates demonstrate AWS's commitment to innovation and continuous improvement, providing users with more advanced tools and features to build and deploy applications. The enhancements to AWS Lambda, in particular, showcase the company's focus on improving the performance and flexibility of serverless computing.
