servers platforms!

Database-aaS Caching-aaS Logging-aaS Metrics-aaS Servers-aaS
business logic?
Functions-aaS
myApp(request) #=> response
None

Lambda + API Gateway
Functions-aaS + Routing-aaS
$ per request
scales magically*
Lambda
write code zip upload function()
node java python C#
shim + rust/go/haskell
function(event,context,cb){ cb(null, ‘Hello World’) }
versioning aliases RAM + CPU logging non-http events
API Gateway
swagger or click a lot
cache/throttle authorization api keys logging/metrics custom domains ssl
None
10-20 million calls per day

frontend
None
API Gateway S3 Lambda(SSR) html + js
Ember
Ember Riot
Ember Riot Preact
why preact?
components simple small
backend
graphiql.bustle.com
API Gateway Lambda JSON dynamoDB redis*
Ruby

why not?
lock in
const express = require(‘express’) const fn = require(./lambda-fn/) const app
= express() app.get('/', (req, res) => { fn.handler(null, null, (err, result) => { res.json(result) }) }); app.listen(3000)
cold functions
const data = loadBigData() // Takes 15s module.exports.handler = function(e,ctx,cb){
processBigData(data, cb) }
long tasks
5 min max
s3(3GB) Lambda Kinesis Firehose Elasticsearch
testing
test in the cloud?
tools!
serverless framework node-lambda apex claudia.js
None
npm install -g shep
JavaScript Only no CF swagger webpack environments
shep new my-api shep generate endpoint shep deploy production
