Announcing new AWS Amplify Library for Swift, now with support for both iOS and macOS
Today, we are excited to announce the general availability of Amplify Library for Swift (previously Amplify iOS)! This release allows Swift developers to easily build cloud-connected iOS apps. Since its Developer Preview release in April 2022, we have re-written our APIs to support idiomatic Swift features like async/await that makes it easier for developers to implement structured concurrency. We also want to take this opportunity to introduce beta availability of macOS support–one of our most requested features–with watchOS and tvOS support coming in future releases. As with the Preview, the Amplify Library for Swift is open source on GitHub, and we deeply appreciate the feedback we have gotten from the community.

Announcing AWS Parameters and Secrets Lambda Extension
Today, AWS launched the AWS Parameters and Secrets Lambda Extension, a convenient method for AWS Lambda users to retrieve parameters from AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store and secrets from AWS Secrets Manager. AWS Lambda customers can leverage this extension to improve their application performance as it decreases the latency and the cost of retrieving parameters and secrets. Previously, customers had to initialize either the core library of a service or the entire service SDK inside a Lambda function for retrieving secrets and parameters, now they can simply use the extension. This lightweight and easy-to-use extension caches parameters and secrets, and persists them throughout the lifecycle of the Lambda function. The extension runs inside an isolated execution environment using the same permissions as the role of the user running the Lambda function.
