on YouTube ↗20m

" summary

Builds a serverless model with concrete outcomes: a dynamic image resizer running in 40 lines of code behind CloudFront and S3 that still handles billions of monthly requests, a real-time bidding prototype using API Gateway Lambda and Kinesis with average latency ~600–700ms and p95 1.2s that exposes mistaken sub-second requirements, and a migration lesson to AWS AppSync and managed services when the platform already solves resolver and scale problems.
