AWS Lambda durable functions are now available in AWS European Sovereign Cloud region

AWS Lambda durable functions are now available in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud. Lambda durable functions enable developers to build reliable multi-step applications and AI workflows within the Lambda developer experience.
Lambda durable functions extend the Lambda programming model with new primitives in your event handler, such as “step” and “wait”, allowing you to checkpoint progress, automatically recover from failures, and pause executions without incurring compute charges for on-demand functions. With availability in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud region, customers can orchestrate complex processes such as order workflows, user onboarding, and AI-assisted tasks while meeting compliance and security requirements.
You can activate durable functions for new Python (versions 3.13 and 3.14), Node.js (versions 22 and 24), or Java (17+) based Lambda functions using the AWS Lambda API, AWS Management Console, or AWS SDK. You can also use infrastructure as code tools such as AWS CloudFormation, AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM), and the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK).
For more information on durable functions, visit the AWS Lambda durable functions product page or the AWS Lambda Developer Guide. To learn about pricing, visit AWS Lambda pricing.

Amazon DynamoDB global tables with multi-Region strong consistency now supports additional AWS Regions and cross-continent configurations

Starting today, Amazon DynamoDB global tables with multi-Region strong consistency (MRSC) is available in five additional AWS Regions: Canada (Central), Europe (Stockholm), Europe (Spain), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), and Asia Pacific (Singapore), bringing the total number of supported Regions to 15. You can now create an MRSC global table in any three-Region configuration across the 15 supported AWS Regions, configured with either three replicas or two replicas and one witness Region. This includes configurations that span North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
MRSC lets you build highly available multi-Region applications with a recovery point objective (RPO) of zero. By choosing replica Regions closer to your users in more geographies, you can route applications to nearby DynamoDB endpoints for strongly consistent reads while keeping your application available during Regional impairments. MRSC is ideal for global applications with strict consistency requirements, such as user profile management, inventory tracking, order state, and entitlement management.
To get started and view the complete list of supported Regions and configuration options, see the DynamoDB Developer Guide. To learn more about building resilient multi-Region applications, visit the DynamoDB global tables page.
