buildOne report1 publisher 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.

buildOne report1 publisher AWS open-sources a 2B model that picks from a fixed list of options, plus a policy sandbox
AWS open-sourced Strands Decider 2B, a 2B-parameter decision model it says makes a decision in a median of about 115 ms on an RTX 3090. Strands Box, the sandbox released with it, enforces agent rules in a kernel-level policy layer outside the model.

buildOne report1 publisher 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.
