Installed on over 20 million devices worldwide on three different platforms, Glide is the world’s leading real-time video messenger. Rapid growth came with scalability and maintainability efforts to ensure a sub-second video messaging experience for our users. When searching for a solution to data analytics challenges, we turned to AWS Lambda. With a combination of Dynamo Streams and Kinesis Firehose we managed to speed up service for our end users and internal systems while simplifying our architecture and increasing savings, all without bothering the Dev-Ops team. In this lecture we will discuss some of the practical applications of AWS Lambda, how to maintain multiple Lambda functions from the same code base, debug issues (in production!), and practical tricks that can help you address known issues and unleash the power of AWS Lambda. Mo Kamioner, Backend Architect for Glide will be leading this lecture.
