Beyond the Basics: Production Serverless Patterns for Extreme Scale
Unpredictable heavy traffic workloads require architectures that can handle them elegantly. Serverless provides that solution. This deep dive explores two advanced use cases demonstrating why enterprises are migrating to serverless for mission-critical applications.
First: implementing Lambda's rapid scaling capabilities to handle extreme traffic bursts—flash sales, event ticketing, viral content—while optimizing for cost efficiency during steady-state operations.
Second: architecting real-time analytics pipelines using Lambda with Step Functions' Distributed Maps for time-sensitive data processing in financial systems.
This session assumes familiarity with AWS services and focuses on advanced, production-ready patterns for building resilient applications that perform under extreme load conditions.
