Building & Running a Serverless Platform: Beyond Infrastructure
summary
Describes a production platform built 90% serverless that exposes composable capabilities—upload/download, listing, access control, malware scan, tenant-specific retention—and integrates DocuSign for signature flows. Uses the AWS Serverless Well‑Architected pillars with concrete practices: STRIDE threat modeling, data classification, unit cost and TCO per tenant, CI/CD with audit trails (CloudTrail), continuous scanning (AWS Inspector), SLOs, chaos tests, feature‑flag lifecycles and version migration. Includes a platform readiness checklist and warns that single‑customer builds create shadow platforms requiring a full redesign.
