AWS is shaking up that model by releasing a JavaScript SDK that securely accesses AWS services from the browser, thus eliminating in some cases the need for any server-side code.

The SDK supports Amazon’s web identity federation feature (you wouldn’t want to add your AWS credentials in your HTML and JavaScript, after all).

Node 18 support in AWS Lambda! They're also including v3 of the AWS JavaScript SDK now, which is great news if you're using that - one less thing to bundle in your deployments.
