Serverless Streams, Topics, Queues, & APIs! How to Pick the Right Serverless Application Pattern

Level: 300

When building serverless applications, there are design options, such as which AWS services to use with Lambda and the Lambda invocation pattern. Lambda can be invoked by many different AWS services or events, such as in response to infrastructure activities, developer tools actions, lifecycle events, and more. It can also be invoked as part of a workflow within an application. So how do you pick the right pattern for the application you want to build? Do you need to process data in real time? Do you need to buffer requests between microservices? Do you need a fan out pattern? Have synchronous responses? In this tech talk, we'll talk about the various design patterns for Lambda and when you should use them. We will also cover some best practices for building apps using the full serverless stack - not just Lambda.
