Scalable applications are by nature resource intensive, expensive to build and difficult to manage. AWS, through the serverless computing initiative, is changing this perception. In this session, Eugene Istrati from Mitoc Group shows how they are using serverless building blocks like S3, CloudFront, API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, Elasticache – and this is only the foundation.

Not involving a server; composed only of clients.

Serverless doesn’t mean servers are no longer
involved. It simply means that developers no
longer have to think “that much” about them.
Computing resources get used as services without
having to manage physical capacities or limits.

What are “Microservices”?
In computing, microservices is a software
architecture style in which complex applications
are composed of small, independent processes
communicating with each other using language-
agnostic APIs. These services are small, highly
decoupled and focus on doing a small task,
facilitating a modular approach to system-building.
