Global Active-Active Serverless

on YouTube ↗18m

" summary

Claims a working multi‑region active‑active stack that uses DynamoDB Global Tables, API Gateway + Lambda and EventBridge to route and replicate state across regions. Demo shows a user‑facing app and static site on S3 with geolocation/latency routing, automated conflict resolution and failover, and measurable tradeoffs: eventual consistency for cross‑region writes, instant local reads, and fast recovery with RTO in seconds. Practical tips cover network links (site‑to‑site VPNs or interconnect), costs and when to prefer read replicas versus full active‑active replication.
