Lives for seconds
Virtualisation
Deploy in minutes
Lives for weeks

6. Gazillions of baby Lambdas

8. AWS
Lambda
A compute service where you
can upload your code and it
runs the it on your behalf using
AWS infrastructure.

9. AWS
Lambda
Code function that executes
when triggered by an event.
Handler

10. AWS
Lambda
Things that happen in AWS services:
Event source
API Gateway
S3
SES
SNS
CloudWatch
(logs, events & scheduled actions)
CloudFormation
DynamoDB
Kinesis
Cognito

11. AWS
Lambda
Trigger from custom REST API
and endpoint using Amazon
API Gateway
HTTPS only
API Gateway event source

12. AWS
Lambda
RequestResponse type
Assumes response will be sent
Asynchronous type for other
applications
Synchronous invocation
for API Gateway

13. AWS
Lambda
Supported:
• Javascript (NodeJS) / Python / JVM
Unsupported:
• Ruby / Go / Haskell
• (Actually anything)
Languages

14. AWS
Lambda
Console for simple implementations
with no external dependencies.
or
Zip file with your code and
dependencies. Upload directly or use
S3
Deployment package

15. AWS
Lambda
Only local state, and is limited to the
current Lambda execution
Stateless

16. Amazon
API Gateway
A scalable, fully-managed
service to publish, maintain,

17. Amazon
API Gateway
Each resource within a REST API can
support one or more of the
standard HTTP methods
Define verbs supported for each
resource (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH,
DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS) and their
implementations
RESTful

18. Amazon
API Gateway
Built in staging
multiple stages (e.g. dev, test, deploy)
Built-in versioning
multiple versions simultaneously
Staging & versioning

19. Amazon
API Gateway
Works with Lambda or your own
publicly accessible endpoints
Lambda- or custom-backed

20. Amazon
API Gateway
Custom authorisers, e.g. JWT, OAuth
Cognito integration
Authorisation & Authentication

21. Amazon
API Gateway
Allows resources on a web page to be
requested from another domain outside the
domain from which the resource originated,
e.g. calls to API Gateway endpoints
CORS support

22. Amazon
API Gateway
Android, iOS, or JavaScript boilerplate
SDK code generation

23. GET https://romanapi.com/v1/numeral/MCMLXIX
{
"result": 1969,
"arabic": 1969,
"roman": "MCMLXIX",
"success": true,
"original": "MCMLXIX"
}

Great for assets
(css/images/javascripts)
Custom domain names
TLS supported

A global content delivery
network (CDN) service

26. Amazon
CloudFront
Improve performance of your
web-facing assets

Web Application Firewall
A web application firewall that
helps protect your web
applications from common
web exploits

29. Fully managed, scalable, fast
NoSQL database
Amazon
DynamoDB

37. Serverless
should be
considered as part of
your cloud strategy

38. Serverless
is just another tool
in your cloud toolset
