The document discusses the journey to implementing microservice architecture using Amazon Lambda, detailing the setup of VPCs, subnets, and services like Jenkins. It includes technical instructions for deploying code, managing container lifetimes, and using CI/CD practices with Lambda. References and resources for further reading are provided to assist in understanding microservices deployment on AWS.

Q: Typically, how long can I expect a container to live if it’s idle?
A: The "official" answer to all of these questions goes something like,
"We reserve the right to make changes to better serve customers and
so I can't give you a response that's guaranteed to remain accurate."
But that said, in the current implementation we'll typically consider a
function a candidate for what we call "fast spindown" if we haven't
seen it used in the last five minutes. This can vary by event type,
function and account history, etc. but is generally the case.

create EC2 instance
add instance to VPC and setup firewall
install Jenkins
for (service of services):
create service and configure package.JSON
run claudia create manually
create GitHub repository
create SSH key-pair*
add Jenkins as webhook
add SSH key-pair
create Jenkins project
configure Jenkins
push local repo to Github
hope it all works!

30. configure manually rest of Lambda settings (VPC, RAM size, timeout ...)
configure logging, packages ... and build service

32. One, last thing :)
Always redeploy functions after changing configuration!
Because changes only take place when new function version gets deployed.

33. Big thanks to Gordan and Damir.
