.NET on AWS Blog

When building serverless .NET applications in AWS, the AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) provides a shorthand syntax to model resources such as AWS Lambda functions, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon DynamoDB tables, and event source mappings. AWS SAM helps you to build, test, and deploy your cloud-based .NET applications quickly in the cloud. This blog […]

Introduction Welcome to the second post in the Bob’s Used Books blog post series. In the first post I discussed how to get started with Bob’s Used Books and described the different debug and deployment modes you can use to test and run the application. In this post I will dive into the architecture of […]

Overview In Part 1 of this blog post, I showed how to modify the .NET serverless application blueprint to build, test and deploy using arm64 compute in Amazon CodeCatalyst. In Part 2, I’ll show you how to use CodeCatalyst to create a workflow using the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) to build, test and deploy […]

Overview Amazon CodeCatalyst is a cloud-based collaboration space for software development teams, including creating CI/CD workflows to automatically build and deploy software. CodeCatalyst recently added support for arm64 compute, using AWS Graviton, for workflows. Graviton is the AWS arm64 compute platform. Arm64 is supported in both CodeCatalyst compute models: on-demand and pre-provisioned. Versions of .NET starting with […]

Introduction The best sample applications are simple to understand, but have enough complexity to demonstrate real-world usage. Our new open-source .NET sample application, Bob’s Used Books, provides the .NET community with a simple but real-world .NET application that leverages multiple AWS frameworks and services. Bob’s Used Books is a simple eCommerce application that sells fictional […]

Amazon EventBridge is a serverless event bus that lets you pass events between AWS services, your applications, and third party services, helping you to build event-driven applications. It implements the publisher/subscriber (pub/sub) pattern, where publishers emit events, and subscribers receive them. As of this writing, over 150 AWS services generate EventBridge events. For example, you […]

Introduction When we launched AWS Microservice Extractor for .NET, the goal was to give customers an easy-to-use tool to extract microservices from their monolithic applications. To achieve this goal, we have created multiple ways for you to locate candidate code for microservices to extract. In this post, we are going to talk about the latest […]

AWS has supported .NET workloads since 2008. Over the years, .NET has changed from a less flexible, Windows-only framework to a modular, cross-platform runtime. Today, you can run legacy .NET Framework applications on Windows, as well as modern .NET applications on Linux, all fully supported on AWS. Although legacy .NET Framework applications will run on […]

This is Part 2 in a series on creating an Amazon Alexa Skill with AWS Lambda and Amazon DynamoDB. Please look at Part 1: Creating Data for the Skill to see the prerequisites on setting up the data source for our skill. In this part, the Alexa Skill we will build will return information about […]

This blog series will walk you through the process of creating an Amazon Alexa skill that queries data from an Amazon DynamoDB table. Part 1 focuses on creating the data source that the skill will query and part 2 focuses on creating the AWS Lambda function to query the data and creating the skill. In […]
