This document contains a summary of best practices for using Lambda and DynamoDB presented by Yan Cui. Some key recommendations include implementing observability from the start by using metrics and alerts to monitor performance, creating separate AWS accounts for each team and environment, loading secrets securely from SSM Parameter Store at runtime, following the principle of least privilege with IAM policies, parallelizing functions where possible, and various DynamoDB optimizations like using DocumentClient and PAY_PER_REQUEST billing. The document emphasizes that best practices depend on individual contexts and situations.
How to choose the right messaging service for your workloadYan Cui
At the heart of every event-driven architecture is a conduit for messages to flow through. AWS offers many services that can act as such conduit - EventBridge, SNS, SQS, Kinesis, DynamoDB streams, MSK, IOT Core and Amazon MQ just to name a few! These services have different characteristics and trade-offs around performance, scalability and cost. Picking the right service for your workload is not always easy. In this talk, let’s talk about how to pick the right messaging service to use in your event-driven architecture and play the game of trade-offs to your advantage.

This session will begin with an introduction to non-relational (NoSQL) databases and compare them with relational (SQL) databases. Learn the fundamentals of Amazon DynamoDB, a fully managed NoSQL database service, and see the DynamoDB console first-hand. See a walk-through demo of building a serverless web application using this high-performance key-value and JSON document store.
Microservices architecture can make functionality more flexible, testable, and scalable. The execution of the architecture has several difficulties, though, which a microservice design pattern can aid in overcoming. This presentation covers several design patterns in depth to assist you in choosing the best one.
Amazon RDS allows you to launch an optimally configured, secure and highly available database with just a few clicks. It provides cost-efficient and resizable capacity while managing time-consuming database administration tasks, freeing you to focus on your applications and business.

Build Real-Time Applications with Databricks StreamingDatabricks
In this presentation, we will study a recent use case we implemented recently. In this use case we are working with a large, metropolitan fire department. Our company has already created a complete analytics architecture for the department based upon Azure Data Factory, Databricks, Delta Lake, Azure SQL and Azure SQL Server Analytics Services (SSAS). While this architecture works very well for the department, they would like to add a real-time channel to their reporting infrastructure.
This channel should serve up the following information: •The most up-to-date locations and status of equipment (fire trucks, ambulances, ladders etc.)
• The current locations and status of firefighters, EMT personnel and other relevant fire department employees
• The current list of active incidents within the city The above information should be visualized through an automatically updating dashboard. The central component of the dashboard will be map which automatically updates with the locations and incidents. This view should be as real-time as possible and will be used by the fire chiefs to assist with real-time decision-making on resource and equipment deployments.
In this presentation, we will leverage Databricks, Spark Structured Streaming, Delta Lake and the Azure platform to create this real-time delivery channel.

Migrating your .NET Applications to the AWS Serverless PlatformAmazon Web Services
Windows and .NET-based workloads are first-class citizens on AWS. In this session, we show how you can easily move an existing .NET application to the AWS cloud and take advantage of it serverless capabilities. We will cover migration and architectural considerations for porting your C# application to AWS Lambda, and using API Gateway to create a façade for your application to safely make changes as you migrate.
Speakers:
Stephen Liedig, Public Sector Solutions Architect, Amazon Web Services
Shane Baldacchino, Solutions Architect, Amazon Web Services
AWS' philosophy and recommended best practices for building microservices applications, how AWS services like Lambda and API gateway benefit developers building microservices apps, and how customers are using these two and other AWS services to deliver their microservices apps
Ever wished you had a list of cheat codes to unleash the full power of AWS Lambda for your production workload? Come learn how to build a robust, scalable, and highly available serverless application using AWS Lambda. In this session, we discuss hacks and tricks for maximizing your AWS Lambda performance, such as leveraging customer reuse, using the 500 MB scratch space and local cache, creating custom metrics for managing operations, aligning upstream and downstream services to scale along with Lambda, and many other workarounds and optimizations across your entire function lifecycle.
You also learn how Hearst converted its real-time clickstream analytics data pipeline from a server-based model to a serverless one. The infrastructure of the data pipeline relied on Amazon EC2 instances and cron jobs to shepherd data through the process. In 2016, Hearst converted its data pipeline architecture to a serverless process that relies on event triggers and the power of AWS Lambda. By moving from a time-based process to a trigger-based process, Hearst improved its pipeline latency times by 50%.
AWS re:Invent 2016: Using AWS Lambda to Build Control Systems for Your AWS In...Amazon Web Services
Defining infrastructure resource policies in an organized manner can help your company better manage its infrastructure resources.
This session familiarizes you with using AWS Lambda to process data and provide control logic for your infrastructure. You can use Amazon CloudWatch Events to monitor infrastructure resources in real-time, and you can use AWS Lambda to react to events based on a set of rules. We demonstrate how you can build a rules engine for creating, monitoring, and managing policies. This is all done using Alexa and Alexa Skills Kit.
¿Qué es eso del desarrollo sin servidores? ¿Qué lenguajes puedo utilizar? ¿Cómo hago cosas como autenticación, o guardar en base de datos, o enviar notificaciones? ¿Esto escala? A todas estas preguntas, y a alguna más, intentaré dar respuesta en esta sesión, donde haré una pequeña demo de montar una app muy sencilla y desplegarla en la nube sin preocuparnos de gestionar infraestructura. Charla realizada por primera vez para AlcarriaConf 2021
AWS Lambda allows any Node.js app to be run at scale in a massively parallel environment with no up-front costs or planning. This session shows how to use Lambda to build dynamic analytic data flows that can be tuned as they execute, based on initial results, to provide real-time output streamed to web clients. This process enables a cost-effective and responsive user experience for ad hoc big data jobs and lets developers focus on how data is consumed and presented, instead of how it is obtained.
AWS re:Invent 2016: Building Complex Serverless Applications (GPST404)Amazon Web Services
Provisioning, scaling, and managing physical or virtual servers—and the applications that run on them—has long been a core activity for developers and system administrators. The expanding array of managed AWS cloud services, including AWS Lambda, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon API Gateway and more, increasingly allows organizations to focus on delivering business value without worrying about managing the underlying infrastructure or paying for idle servers and other fixed costs of cloud services. In this session, we discuss the design, development, and operation of these next-generation solutions on AWS. Whether you're developing end-user web applications or back-end data processing systems, join us in this session to learn more about building your applications without servers.

Patterns and practices for building resilient serverless applications.pdfYan Cui
Lambda gives you multi-AZ out-of-the-box, but still, things can go wrong in production. There are region-wide outages, and performance degradation in services your function depends on can cause it to time out or error. And what if you're dealing with downstream systems that just aren't as scalable and can't handle the load you put on them? The bottom line is many things can go wrong and they often do at the worst of times. The goal of building resilient systems is not to prevent failures, but to build systems that can withstand these failures. In this talk, we will look at a number of practices and architectural patterns that can help you build more resilient serverless applications. Such as multi-region, active-active, employing DLQs and surge queues. We'll also see how we can use chaos experiments to help us identify failure modes before they manifest in production.
Serverless observability - a hero's perspectiveYan Cui
Yan Cui, an AWS Serverless Hero, will talk about the learnings from using serverless at scale.
He will cover the challenges for observability in serverless asynchronous workloads and the patterns to address those challenges, like using centralized logging, correlation IDs, tracing, lambda extensions.
How to ship customer value faster with step functionsYan Cui
Learn all about AWS Step Functions and how to use them to model business workflows and ship customer values quickly. In this session, we will talk about what is Step Functions, how to model business workflows as state machines, real-world case studies, and design patterns. By the end of this webinar, you should have a good idea of where Step Functions fit into your application and why you should use them (and why not!) to model workflows instead of building a custom solution yourself.
One of the key characteristics of serverless components is the pay-per-use pricing model. For example, with AWS Lambda, you don’t pay for the uptime of the underlying infrastructure but for the no. of invocations and how long your code actually runs for.
This important characteristic removes the need for many premature micro-optimizations as your cost is always tightly linked to usage and minimizes waste. As a result, many applications would run at a fraction of the cost if they were moved to serverless.
The pay-per-use pricing model also enables more accurate cost prediction and monitoring based on your application’s throughput. This gives rise to the notion of FinDev, where finance and development can intersect and allows optimization to be targeted to give the optimal return-on-invest on the engineering efforts.
And by building your application on serverless components, you can also leverage it as a business advantage and offer a more competitive, usage-based pricing to your customers. Which is going to be crucial at a time when businesses all around the world are affected by COVID and are looking for better efficiencies.
In this webinar, we will cover topics such as:
- How does the cost of serverless differ from serverful applications?
- How to predict and monitor cost in serverless applications?
- When should you optimize for cost?
- How can you leverage usage-based pricing as a business advantage?
Why your next serverless project should use AWS AppSyncYan Cui
In this webinar, Yan Cui and Lumigo Software Engineer Guy Moses will discuss some of the power of GraphQL and AppSync and why AppSync + Lambda + DynamoDB should be your stack of choice in 2021 and beyond!
Serverless technologies drastically simplify the task of building modern, scalable APIs in the cloud, and GraphQL makes it easy for frontend teams to consume these APIs and to iterate quickly on your product idea. Together, they are a perfect combination for a product-focused, full-stack team to deliver customer values quickly.
In this talk, see how we built a new social network mobile app in under 4 weeks using Lambda, AppSync, DynamoDB and Algolia. How we approached CI/CD, testing, authentication and lessons we learnt along the way.

How to bring chaos engineering to serverlessYan Cui
You might have heard about chaos engineering in the context of Netflix and Amazon, and how they kill EC2 servers in production at random to verify that their systems can stay up in the face of infrastructure failures. But did you know that the same ideas can be applied to serverless applications? Yes, despite not having access to the underlying servers, we can still apply principles of chaos engineering to uncover failure modes in our system (and there are plenty!) so we can build a defence against them and make our serverless applications more robust and more resilient!
Migrating existing monolith to serverless in 8 stepsYan Cui

FinDev as a business advantage in the post covid19 economyYan Cui
The impact COVID19 has had on consumer economy, ripples out to other service providers - analytics tools, etc because everyone is going to be squeezed. And the variable-cost (or pay-as-you-use) pricing model will be more appealing as companies tighten up their budgets for non-essential services/tools.
AWS has improved Lambda cold starts by leaps and bounds in the last year. But for performance-sensitive applications such as user-facing APIs, Lambda cold starts are still a thorn in one’s side, especially when working with languages such as Java and .Net Core.
In this webinar, we will dive into strategies for improving cold start latency and how to mitigate them altogether with Provisioned Concurrency, and how Lumigo helps you optimize your use of Provisioned Concurrency.
In this session, we will look at 10 common use cases for AWS Lambda such as REST APIs, WebSockets, IoT and building event-driven systems. We will also touch on some of the latest platform features such as Provisioned Concurrency, EFS integration and Lambda Destinations and when and where we should use them.

In this webinar, we will show you how to identify and debug timeout errors, and strategies for mitigating timeouts and degraded performance more gracefully when there are underlying issues.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
