Serverless Architecture - Tales from a world without servers
summary
Builds an event-driven analytics pipeline using AWS Lambda, API Gateway and SQS: a scheduled producer lambda queues work, worker lambdas process items and write metrics to Elasticsearch consumed by Power BI. Notes concrete limits (100 concurrent executions by default, 5 minute timeout, 6 MB request/response, 50 MB deploy packages, 1.5 GB max memory) and cost model (1M free requests, example 30M requests at 128 MB and 200 ms ≈ £10/month). Finds autoscaling can overload dependencies, fixes with queuing and CloudWatch logging forwarded to ES via a lambda.
