Implementing a serverless-first strategy in an enterprise

on YouTube ↗32m

" summary

Delta adopts a written, CTO-backed serverless-first mandate and builds a Cloud Center of Excellence that ships self-service CDK constructs and CloudFormation templates, CI/CD pipelines, and a reference application. Production patterns use AWS Lambda, Fargate, API Gateway authorizers, and Lambda Power Tools for observability; security embeds AWS Config and Lambda-based runtime checks and shifts controls left into the pipeline. Result: decentralized teams deploy standardized, instrumented serverless services with cost visibility and reduced OS attack surface.
