serverless

The talk explores the recent trend toward rich, thick-client applications talking directly to cloud data stores and cloud-based services for protected workloads & service orchestration. The “serverless” approach enables organizations to focus on code instead of infrastructure by taking advantage of managed cloud services. To be clear, this concept doesn’t entirely do away with servers, but places the responsibility for managing, securing, and patching them onto the service provider. We discuss the current ecosystem of products and services available for taking advantage of the “serverless” architecture as well as some strategies for use in your own implementation.

Transcript

1. Serverless
2. Static file hosting
3. Integrate w/ 3rd parties
4. Site generators
5. JS MVC Frameworks
6. Atomic task processing
7. S3 Object store with unlimited capacity. Web hosting solution for static files. Set policies and CORS restrictions Send change events to other services
8. Cloud Front Content delivery web service Distribute content to end uses with low latency and high data transfer speeds Pay only for the content that is delivered Deliver HTTP/HTTPS and RTMP
9. SNS A cost effective managed service for sending notifications in the cloud. Multiple services can subscribe to a single topic making it an easy to set up message bus Only pay for what you use
10. IAM Control access to aws services and resources. Create and manage users and groups Establish roles and policies to govern access
11. Cognito Authentication and storage of user profiles works with your existing authentication process or services like Facebook, Google, and OpenID Expose a reduced privileges role for unauthenticated users for interacting with aws services
12. Lambda Run code without provisioning or managing servers Only pay for what you use Highly available configuration across multiple data centers Respond to events, expose via api gateway, invoke with sdks Use cases galore
13. API Gateway Securely expose business logic hosted on AWS Lambda Act as a proxy to internal and external endpoints Export documentation and generate system developer kits from within the aws management console
14. Cloud Watch Central location for logs Send alarm notifications or make system changes
15. Dynamo DB NoSql data stroe Highly scalable, highly reliable Download the service for local development
16. SQS Hosted queues that are polled A temporary container for messages that have yet to be acted upon Queues decouple your services and act as a buffer between processes
17. Elastic Beanstalk Load balancing, auto-scaling, application health monitoring and capacity provisioning. Enables you to host legacy applications and get the benefit of serverless arch.
18. Serverless Framework Build and maintain web, mobile and IoT applications running on AWS Lambda and API Gateway https://github.com/serverless
