Architecting for Hyperscale with AWS: Navigating Real-world Serverless Challenges

Tue, 23 April

Are you gearing up for a major launch event? AWS serverless computing empowers you to architect APIs and web applications that seamlessly scale, all while minimizing operational overhead. Yet, achieving true scalability requires more than just leveraging serverless—it demands the integration of proven best practices.

Delve into this session to uncover core principles vital in readying your serverless applications for hyperscale. We'll chart a practical path on applying these architectural patterns, drawing inspiration from real-world architectures that catered to hundreds of millions during pivotal moments like the COVID-19 pandemic.

You'll gain insights into:

  • Techniques pivotal for scalability, including asynchronous processing, caching, rate limiting, and optimizing AWS Lambda for performance.
  • Strategies to harness the full potential of serverless services such as Amazon API Gateway, AWS Lambda, Amazon CloudFront, and Amazon DynamoDB.
  • A step-by-step walkthrough of a major launch use case, highlighting challenges faced and strategies employed.
  • Conclusive takeaways, offering a repertoire of best practices and tools to enhance your serverless endeavors.

Equip yourself with strategies and tools designed to meet the most demanding serverless workload challenges, blending theoretical knowledge with hands-on, real-world experiences.
