Agenda
Modern Application Development
The PlayZon Application
Building Blocks
Customer Story: venn
Demo

Assess and
prioritize,
app by app
Pick path to
modernization
Lift & shift:
data center → EC2
Re-platform:
VMs → containers
Refactor:
monolith → microservices
Re-invent:
host fleets → serverless
Modern application development: a journey with
many paths

Simplify infrastructure management
with serverless technologies

What is serverless?
No infrastructure provisioning,
no management
Automatic scaling
Pay for value Highly available and secure

Amazon Sumerian Overview
• Amazon Sumerian comprises an IDE, editor, APIs, Hosts, templates
& asset library to make it easy to build & publish apps
• Prebuilt templates for common scenarios
• Hosts - lifelike characters to guide/narrate your applications
• State Machine/JavaScript support for customizations & behaviors
• Tight integration with AWS services

Lambda Layers
Lets functions easily share code: Upload layer
once, reference within any function
Promote separation of responsibilities, lets
developers iterate faster on writing business logic
Built in support for secure sharing by ecosystem

Using Lambda Layers
• Put common components in a ZIP file and
upload it as a Lambda Layer
• Layers are immutable and can be
versioned to manage updates
• You can reference up to five layers, one of
which can optionally be a custom runtime
Lambda

Amazon API Gateway Overview
Fully managed service that makes it easy for developers to
publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale
• API keys to manage Quotas and throttle to protect your backend
• Request/Response data transformation and API mocking
• Cache with customizable keys and time-to-live
• API Monitoring using Amazon CloudWatch
• Native AWS Services integrations

API Gateway Stages and Variables
Stages are named links to a deployed version of you API
• Recommended for managing API lifecycle (Dev/Test/Prod)
• Stage variables act like environment variables
• Stage variables values accessible from most fields in API Gateway
• Lambda Function ARN
• HTTP Endpoint
• Custom authorizer function name
• Parameter mapping

3 Endpoint Types to Choose From
• Edge optimized: Designed to help you reduce client latency
from anywhere on the internet
• Regional: Designed to reduce latency when calls are made from
the same region as the API
• Private: Designed to expose APIs only inside your VPC

Now, let’s talk
about tech

Base assumptions & requirements
Business Side
Build for global adjust for local
Dynamic business requirements
Many product lines
Many integrations
Engineering Side
Small team (all developers)
Light on DevOps
Quick release cycle
Work on small problems
Use 3rd party services
Single stack
and create attractive dev environment for developers...

High level architecture

Simple flow - open door

(Not) Simple flow - payment

What we learned?

Server & Serverless
It took some experiments to connect them

How we did it

Invest in Learning
It’s a different kind of development

Logs, alerts, etc.
Serverless is no different, same tools and concepts

Once you build it...
It is actually very cool and fun and we are happy
✓ Business
Requirements
✓ Easy to
Integrate
✓ Lean and
Quick
