Serverless Architecture Patterns and Best Practices

on YouTube ↗50m

" summary

Shows concrete patterns and numbers: package and expanded bundle limits (250 MB), Lambda cold starts (Python ~3–5s, Java ~10–15s), and the 1,000 default concurrency soft limit. Describes building CI/CD with AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild and CloudFormation via the Serverless Application Model (sam package/sam deploy), local debugging with SAM Local and Cloud9, distributed tracing with X‑Ray, orchestration with Step Functions, and real‑time ingestion using Kinesis (including Kinesis Analytics) feeding Lambda → DynamoDB. Notes Supercell sends 45 billion events a day and explains memory/CPU tradeoffs that cut runtime dramatically.
