- 5InfoQ·7/30/2026framework_updateAWS Lambda Raises Managed Code Storage Quota
AWS Lambda now lets customers reference deployment packages directly from their own S3 buckets, which removes the per-Region managed code storage quota and increases the default managed limit from 75 GB to 300 GB. Per-function package size limits remain unchanged, and users still need to run UpdateFunctionCode after replacing an object.
- 8The New Stack·7/24/2026product_launchAll four major clouds now offer agent sandboxes, but with different designs
AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Cloudflare now each offer managed sandbox execution for untrusted agent code, completing a common product pattern across the major clouds. The article notes that the providers use different isolation stacks and lifecycle models, from Firecracker microVMs and Hyper-V boundaries to gVisor and Cloudflare's container-based approach.
- 2Hacker News·7/20/2026researchWhy perfection can prevent over-engineering
The article argues that over-engineering is not about caring too much, but about solving the wrong problem under unclear requirements. It says that with well-defined constraints, a system can have a single best solution, and that many software design choices should be treated as product decisions based on user needs.
- 6InfoQ·7/9/2026breakthroughAWS Explains How ProGlove Scaled to Over One Million Lambda Functions
AWS detailed how ProGlove scaled its SaaS platform to run more than one million AWS Lambda functions across thousands of dedicated customer accounts. The case highlights a large-scale serverless architecture used to isolate tenants while supporting industrial wearable devices and related services.
- 7InfoQ·6/30/2026product_launchAWS launches Lambda MicroVMs for isolated execution
AWS introduced Lambda MicroVMs, a serverless compute primitive that runs each user session or AI agent in its own Firecracker virtual machine with hardware-level isolation. The service uses snapshots for fast startup and can preserve state for up to eight hours, though early analysis suggests its minimum cost is significantly higher than Fargate spot pricing.
