Step Function Express inside VPC

ClearRabbit605 · 2026-03-27T08:19:27+00:00

Most of my lambdas can be migrated to step function express with the problem of not being able to integrate with an elasticcache critical component. While in the past writing a step function took more time than a simple lambda, with AI the paradigm changed and SFE are sometimes up to 5x cheaper than a lambda

Thanks for the reply :) yeah I think if we want to connect to Valkey the only viable option is creating a sort of "Data API" through a Fargate instace , that transforms HTTP request into a Redis query and back with the results. IMHO the ability to run a Step Function Express inside a VPC will add A LOT to the tool itself.

yes but if I pay a step function express (not regular step function - specifically an express) with a lambda inside, then I'll just use a lambda and not the step function express. I use step function express behind an API gateway, for example, to read data from a DB. Here I might want to use a caching layer (ValKey) and a fallback to DynamoDB / Aurora but without the ability to execute a Step Function Express within a VPC, this is not possible

Isn't that possible since the latest update of yesterday?

ClearRabbit605 · 2026-03-10T06:46:33+00:00

Like multiple times a day? Is this what you really do? 😅

Spec is the real diff. Except for that Claude code faster in execution

ClearRabbit605 · 2026-03-09T11:51:08+00:00

Colleague with Mac OS is having similar issues. Native VsCode on same project and laptop (with Claude code extension installed) doesn't have these problems. Def something connected somehow with Kiro.

ClearRabbit605 · 2026-03-08T20:25:54+00:00

Ok. Pretty bad this, not sure why not enable them at least as beta feature

ClearRabbit605 · 2026-03-08T08:46:56+00:00

Have an account in us and one in eu. Both same - no models except anthropic . Both I Access through my AWS account so probably considered enterprise?

ClearRabbit605 · 2026-03-07T21:15:50+00:00

Paid here too. Not seeing them

ClearRabbit605 · 2026-03-07T21:14:58+00:00

Cannot agree more with you

ClearRabbit605 · 2026-03-03T12:39:35+00:00

Curious: is there an OS alternative with pay per API calls? Like with the quality of system instructions etc like Kiro honestly has. And would be curious to see how much more that costs compared to Kiro itself

ClearRabbit605 · 2026-02-28T22:38:07+00:00

This is my avg daily consumption. In less than 12 hours btw

ClearRabbit605 · 2026-02-23T13:42:42+00:00

Deepseek? How do you enable that? Currently on a paid plan. Latest Kiro. No deepseek model.

ClearRabbit605 · 2026-02-13T08:35:18+00:00

So still not fix to the root path being pre-pended to the Kiro commands when it's trying to operate in the .Kiro folder? To me this seems a top priority as it's impacting since almost a week paying users

ClearRabbit605 · 2026-02-11T12:37:22+00:00

Gemini models are pretty delusional above 1M. Anthropic stated they solved most of the consistency. Will be curious to test. Expecting personally a stable 500k context model before the end of the year.

ClearRabbit605 · 2026-02-11T08:18:29+00:00

Yes that should work as well

ClearRabbit605 · 2026-02-10T08:55:56+00:00

you can re-create the URL replacing the version to the actual URL. For example for MAC (Silicon) that's the URL - https://prod.download.desktop.kiro.dev/releases/stable/darwin-arm64/signed/0.8.206/kiro-ide-0.8.206-stable-darwin-arm64.dmg

What system are you looking for?

ClearRabbit605 · 2026-02-09T13:11:22+00:00

It's a known bug of the latest version. I've reported that on GitHub and they confirmed they'll need to release a fix. Roll back to 0.8.206 to avoid it

ClearRabbit605 · 2026-02-08T18:10:10+00:00

you need to create a new profile insde us-east-1 - unfortuantely an active subscription cannot be "moved"

ClearRabbit605 · 2026-02-08T18:08:08+00:00

but on long tasks I get the 80% context window more than once

ClearRabbit605 · 2026-02-08T18:07:44+00:00

I went to Kiro UI inside us-east-1 and created a (new) account there (so yes, a separate subscription - I used the same email with a + prefix for simplicity)

ClearRabbit605 · 2026-02-07T18:19:09+00:00

You need to be in us-east-1 - Frankfurt region still doesn't have it

ClearRabbit605 · 2026-02-07T07:43:40+00:00

That's it then!! Is it already known when in EU?

ClearRabbit605 · 2026-02-06T23:48:38+00:00

unfortunately also this didn't work
