A DEV Community post explains AWS Lambda Web Functions, which run a plain Node.js HTTP server, and when to use them instead of event-handler Lambdas

AWS Lambda Web Functions let an ordinary Node.js HTTP server run on Lambda, listening on the port in AWS_LAMBDA_HTTP_ENDPOINT, a DEV Community post says. The author says it does not replace event-handler Lambdas and tested it with a streaming agent and simulated high-traffic services.

Zenity Labs says one prompt to a public Bedrock AgentCore agent returned credentials for a role scoped to every agent in the account and region. AWS had removed the wider default permissions by September 29, 2026, but roles a team copied or widened sit in its own account.

AWS's pentest agent builds working exploits for 33 of 37 new CVEs from a URL and a hint

AWS says its Security Agent captured the flag through the intended vulnerability on 33 of 37 recently disclosed CVEs, with no proof-of-concept supplied. The test scores flag capture on containerized targets, so it measures skill and does not time disclosure-to-exploit.

OpenSearch Serverless NextGen, S3 Vectors and DynamoDB vector indexing now all scale to zero on AWS, where OpenSearch's old floor was about $200 a month. A developer who deployed all three from one CDK project says it is hard to look past NextGen.

Hono apps can run on Lambda Web Functions with no adapter on Node.js 24 and Arm64

AWS Lambda Web Functions run a Hono server without an adapter and allow 128 concurrent requests per environment, a dev.to guide says. Billing, concurrency and endpoint auth differ from Event Functions, so fit needs a check before a backend moves.
