In two recent posts I showed how to warm up execution environments for your Lambda functions so you can avoid the cold start penalty when you have a burst of traffic. In this post I’ll show how to use Lambda versions and aliases to make this process easier.

In the previous post I showed how to pass a Polly Policy Wrap into an Minimal API endpoint with dependency injection. In this post I’ll show to use the Policy Wrap with the Http Client Factory, passing that into the endpoint.

If you run a full ASP.NET Web API application in AWS Lambda function, here is a way to warm up many execution environments ahead of time to reduce cold starts.

There have been many times that I wanted a simple web API application that takes any request on any url and returns a useful response. Here is how to do just that with both a minimal API endpoint and a full controller.

If you know that your Lambda function needs to handle bursts of activity at a predictable time, and you want to avoid the slower response of cold stars for that burst, you can force the Lambda service to warm up execution environments for you ahead of the burst.

The release of .NET 7 brings with it a new way to compile and run .NET code - native AOT compilation. This post compares the cold start time of a Lambda function running on .NET 7 after native AOT compilation with the cold start time of a Lambda function running on .NET 6 with the managed runtime. The results are surprisingly good.

Getting VS Code to open the browser to a specific URL requires one small change, but it took me a while to find the right one. Read on to see how.

Polly Policy Wraps let you apply multiple types of resilience to a single operation. Using them with Minimal API Endpoints is easy, read on to see how.

Cold starts with .NET AWS Lambda functions are a concern for some, but provisioned concurrency provides a simple and cost-effective way to keep your Lambda function warm.

There may be times when you want to share information between Lambda functions, using a distributed memory cache will help you do this.
