Recursive loops and validation APIs 🚀☁️ #62
Lambda recursive loop detection, Step Functions validation API, S3 HTTP error codes
In the previous issue, Supabase and databases are on drumrolls! 🚀☁️ #61 was all about updates on Serverless DBs where Supabase was on a launch week.
In this issue, we look at updates on AWS Lambda recursive loop detection, Step Functions Validation APIs and a few things on Infrastructure as Code.
📢 What's new in Serverless
Amazon S3 no longer charges for several HTTP error codes.
AWS Lambda now supports function-level configuration for recursive loop detection.
Amazon EventBridge Scheduler now provides higher default service quotas.
AWS Lambda announces support for encryption of filter criteria for event source mappings.

⭐ Pick of the month
This month’s Pick is “AWS AppSync JS resolvers“.
Jones Zachariah Noel’s (author) post about the developer experience of JavaScript resolvers for AWS AppSync APIs comparing the experience with VTL resolvers in terms of debugging, verbose syntax and the overwhelming complexity.
