Advanced Serverless Architectural Patterns on AWS
summary
Claims that serverless removes servers and scale to zero while charging by 100ms and that cold starts are a few hundred milliseconds via Firecracker microVMs. Uses AWS Lambda, API Gateway, CloudFront/Lambda@Edge, DynamoDB, Kinesis Firehose/Streams, Step Functions, Rekognition/Transcribe/Comprehend and Athena. Shows an Athena query: 170GB → 44s → $0.85 and a Lambda power‑tuning tool to pick memory (128MB–3GB) for cost/perf. Describes a working pipeline: S3 triggers → Step Functions orchestration → parallel Rekognition/Transcribe/MediaConvert → store in Elasticsearch/DynamoDB, deployable via CloudFormation.
