Presentation notes: Going serverless with AWS Lambda (September 15, 2016)

Going serverless with AWS Lambda

We used to have some specific problems…

  • "We’re expecting requests per second to fluctuate between 2 and 30,000."
  • Oops, we put the wrong instance in the load balancer.
  • Oops, beanstalk crapped its pants.

But in 2015, we discovered AWS Lambda and it changed the frame of reference for a lot of problems.

We went from bare metal, to VPS setups, to Platform as a Service (Heroku), to containers (Docker), to FaaS – Function as a Service, currently best represented by AWS Lambda.
