10. Unconscious Bias? or Knowledge Gaps? (open discussion)
11. Rails & Lambda (from the inside out)
12. How Does Lamby Work?
13. How Does Lamby Work? Hash Convert
14. How Does Lamby Work? app.rb Everything else is just basically Rails
15. How Does Lamby Work? 3 Seconds (cold start) Milliseconds
16. • Think of app.rb as config.ru for API Gateway. • Rails is in good company! Express, Flask, etc all do the same thing. • Think of Lambda as a cheaper PAYGO on Heroku. Rails & Lambda (inside out)
17. Scaling compute is not your problem anymore.
18. The Serverless Application Model https://aws.amazon.com/serverless/sam/
19. Core SAM CLI Commands. More on the ./bin directory later.
20. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) . I hope you like YAML!
21. SAM is Syntactic Sugar for CloudFormation. Meta & DRY!
22. AWS::Serverless::Function
23. • AWS Resource Specification Language. • CLI Interface to Develop & Deploy Apps. • Lamby Uses Cutters Templates. • Super fast Squirrel on GitHub. Keep Up! • Bookmark These Resources… Serverless Application Model

27. Docker & Docker Compose Bin Scripts.
28. Docker Compose. Avoids Repeated ENV & Volume Configs
29. Docker. Rails, SAM, JavaScript, Etc on Lambda Dev.
30. Script Conventions. Underscore for Container bin/_server bin/server
