AWS Lambda announces enhanced error handling capabilities for Kafka event processing

AWS Lambda launches enhanced error handling capabilities for Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK) and self-managed Apache Kafka (SMK) event sources. These capabilities allow customers to build custom retry configurations, optimize retries of failed messages, and send failed events to a Kafka topic as an on-failure destination, enabling customers to build resilient Kafka workloads with robust error handling strategies. Customers use Kafka event source mappings (ESM) with their Lambda functions to build their mission-critical Kafka applications. Kafka ESM offers robust error handling of failed events by retrying events with exponential backoff, and retaining failed events in on-failure destinations like Amazon SQS, Amazon S3, Amazon SNS. However, customers need customized error handling to meet stringent business and performance requirements. With this launch, developers can now exercise precise control over failed event processing and leverage Kafka topics as an additional on-failure destination when using Provisioned mode for Kafka ESM. Customers can now define specific retry limits and time boundaries for retry, automatically discarding failed records beyond these limits to customer-specified destination. They can now also set automatic retries of failed records in the batch and enhance their function code to report individual failed messages, optimizing the retry process. This feature is available in all AWS Commercial Regions where AWS Lambda’s Provisioned mode for Kafka ESM is available. To enable these capabilities, provide configuration parameters for your Kafka ESM in the ESM API, AWS Console, and AWS CLI. To learn more, read the Lambda ESM documentation and AWS Lambda pricing.

OpenSearch Service Enhances Log Analytics with New PPL Experience

Today, AWS announces enhanced log analytics capabilities in Amazon OpenSearch Service, making Piped Processing Language (PPL) and natural language the default experience in OpenSearch UI’s Observability workspace. This update combines proven pipeline syntax with simplified workflows to deliver an intuitive observability experience, helping customers analyze growing data volumes while controlling costs. The new experience includes 35+ new commands for deep analysis, faceted exploration, and natural language querying to help customers gain deeper insights across infrastructure, security, and business metrics. With this enhancement, customers can streamline their log analytics workflows using familiar pipeline syntax while leveraging advanced analytics capabilities. The solution includes enterprise-grade query capabilities, supporting advanced event correlation using natural language that help teams uncover meaningful patterns faster. Users can seamlessly move from query to visualization within a single interface, reducing mean time to detect and resolve issues. Admins can quickly stand up an end-to-end OpenTelemetry solution using OpenSearch’s Get Started workflow in the AWS console. The unified workflow includes out-of-the-box OpenSearch Ingestion pipelines for OpenTelemetry data, making it easier for teams to get started quickly. Amazon OpenSearch UI is available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (N. California), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Paris), Europe (Stockholm), Europe (Milan), Europe (Spain), Europe (Zurich), South America (São Paulo), and Canada (Central). To learn more about the new OpenSearch log analytics experience, visit the OpenSearch Service observability documentation and start using these enhanced capabilities today in OpenSearch UI.
