Going Serverless with GraphQL

on YouTube ↗34m

" summary

Bustle moves nearly all production to AWS Lambda + API Gateway, reaching ~60 million monthly uniques and shrinking one metrics pipeline from ~$2,500/month to ~$400/month. Architecture uses Redis as primary store (connection limits and cold containers cause surprises), account concurrency defaults (100) and 5-minute Lambda timeouts force design changes, and testing/observability are hard. GraphQL sits on Lambda with DataLoader, GraphQL mutations for importing acquired Elite Daily data, and Relay for pagination and client patterns.
