Building Resilient Serverless Applications

" summary

Explains concrete failure modes and fixes: Lambda + API Gateway give multi-AZ but hit a hard 29 second API Gateway timeout, DynamoDB supports DynamoDB global tables for multi‑region active‑active, SQS + Lambda needs SQS visibility = 6× lambda timeout and DLQs with replay tooling (lumigo CLI), streams retry and use batch‑splitting for poison messages. Covers saga vs event‑driven patterns, circuit breaker state choices (in‑memory vs DynamoDB), deduplication strategies and chaos experiments that inject latency and errors to validate recovery.
