Dancing with Serverless

Overview

Explore serverless architecture evolution and best practices in this YOW! 2022 conference talk by AWS Serverless Hero Peter Sbarski. Discover how A Cloud Guru built and evolved its serverless platform, learn current approaches to serverless application development, and address common challenges in serverless software development. Gain insights into building parallel architectures, leveraging AWS Lambda for distributed computing, and implementing event-driven designs. Examine real-world examples, including a serverless video transcoder, and understand how to effectively use services like AWS Step Functions and API Gateway. Delve into topics such as observability, the Serverless Stack (SST), and the "Fatfire" architecture pattern to enhance your serverless development skills.
