Patterns and practices for building resilient serverless applications

Serverless technologies like AWS Lambda has drastically simplified the task of building reactive systems - drop a file into S3 and a Lambda function would be triggered to process it, push an event into a Kinesis stream and magically it'll be processed by a Lambda function in real-time, you can even use Lambda to automate the process of auditing and securing your account by automatically reacting to rule violations to your security policy. Join us in this talk to see some architectural design patterns that have emerged with Lambda, and how to pick the right event source based on the tradeoffs you want. Here are a few patterns that we'll cover in the talk: pub-sub, cron, push-pull, saga and decoupled invocation.

Many people are building different workloads using serverless technologies these days, but how would a non-trivial system such as a social network look like on serverless? In this talk Yan will discuss his journey of migrating a social network startup to serverless, and how his team was able to improve performance, scalability and feature delivery using serverless technologies. Yan will discuss how serverless technologies such as Lambda are used to implement each part of their system, including search, push notifications, timeline, user recommendations, and business intelligence. If you're wondering how serverless can be used to solve a wide variety of challenges in your business, this is the talk for you.

The document discusses challenges with observability in serverless applications and proposes solutions. Some key challenges include not having access to the underlying OS, nowhere to install agents/daemons, no background processing, higher concurrency to telemetry systems, and high chance of data loss if batching logs and metrics. The document covers solutions for logging, monitoring, and distributed tracing in serverless environments using services like CloudWatch Logs, API Gateway, and X-Ray.

This document discusses security considerations for serverless applications. It notes that while serverless applications avoid some security risks related to servers, they also introduce new risks related to application dependencies and access controls. It recommends practices like least privilege access, input/output sanitization, encryption of data at rest and in transit, monitoring for unusual activity, and deleting unused functions. The document emphasizes that people are often the weakest link and proper credentials management is important. It also discusses challenges like denial of service attacks and accidental exposure of functions or data.

Serverless introduces a number of challenges to existing tools for observability, we need to adapt our practices to fit this new paradigm. In this talk, we will discuss how we can build observability into a serverless application. We will see how you can implement log aggregation, distributed tracing and correlation IDs through both synchronous as well as asynchronous events.

In this talk, we will discuss some tips for alerting around your serverless application, and different approaches to troubleshooting issues in your serverless application: using first-party tools from AWS; using custom-built solutions; or using a serverless monitoring solution.

Step Functions is an AWS orchestration service that allows users to model workflows as state machines using JSON. It provides visual workflows, error handling, and auditing capabilities. The document discusses when Step Functions should be used, such as for complex workflows with multiple steps, when error handling and visibility are important, or for non-technical collaborators. It also notes that while Step Functions has a low cost, it does introduce additional management overhead.

In this session, AWS Serverless Hero Yan Cui will share the open-source tools and frameworks that he has found so useful in his journey with serverless. The list features libraries, deployment frameworks, plugins, middlewares, Lambda layers and much more!

In this talk, we'll discuss the 8 steps you need to take to migrate an existing monolith to serverless

The document discusses the benefits of serverless computing for businesses. It notes that serverless platforms allow developers to focus on building features rather than managing infrastructure, leading to faster delivery of new capabilities. Serverless architectures are also more cost-effective since customers only pay for the resources used. This enables businesses to optimize their "runway" or time before next funding by reducing infrastructure costs and increasing development velocity.

In this session, we'll talk about why Frontend Developers should care about serverless and how it gives frontend-focused teams the superpower to build scalable backend for their applications without all the traditional overhead of managing the infrastructure themselves.

AWS Lambda has changed the way we deploy and run software, but the serverless paradigm has created new challenges to old problems: How do you test a cloud-hosted function locally? How do you monitor them? What about logging and config management? And how do we start migrating from existing architectures? Yan Cui shares solutions to these challenges, drawing on his experience running Lambda in production and migrating from an existing monolithic architecture.

AWS Lambda has changed the way we deploy and run software, but this new serverless paradigm has created new challenges to old problems - how do you test a cloud-hosted function locally?

In this talk Yan and Diana will discuss solutions to these challenges by drawing from real-world experience running Lambda in production and migrating from an existing monolithic architecture.

This document provides guidance and best practices for deploying AWS Lambda functions to production environments. It discusses principles for deployment such as having zero downtime and independent, loosely coupled features. It also covers practices for testing, monitoring, logging, configuration management and optimizing Lambda performance. Testing practices include unit, integration and acceptance tests. Metrics and logs should be centralized and made searchable. Distributed tracing helps identify issues between functions. Configuration changes should be propagated easily. Cold starts can be avoided through techniques like health checks and state caching.

This document provides advice on preparing serverless applications for production based on the author's experience deploying 170 Lambda functions to production. It covers important areas to consider like testing at the unit, integration, and acceptance levels; setting up CI/CD pipelines; monitoring, logging, and alerting; distributed tracing; security; and configuration management. The author emphasizes the importance of testing end-to-end without mocking external services, setting up production-ready monitoring and metrics dashboards, and choosing deployment frameworks that are tried and tested.

This document provides a summary of best practices for deploying and managing applications on AWS Lambda. It discusses strategies for testing Lambda functions, including unit, integration and acceptance testing. It also covers logging, monitoring, distributed tracing, configuration management, avoiding cold starts, and other operational considerations like partial failures and hot Kinesis streams. The goal is to help developers build serverless applications on Lambda that are performant, robust, and cost-effective to operate at scale.

The document discusses various best practices and anti-patterns for serverless application development on AWS Lambda. Some of the key points discussed include: 1. Keep Lambda functions simple and single-purposed to avoid slow cold starts from too many dependencies. 2. Use separate AWS accounts for different teams and environments to avoid hitting shared resource limits and better compartmentalize security. 3. Research serverless services like SNS, SQS and Kinesis before building to understand their capabilities and use cases. 4. Use deployment frameworks to avoid console-driven development and simplify continuous deployment. 5. Consider monorepos or one repo per service for related functions rather than one repo per function. 6

Presented at ServerlessDays Warsaw Recording: https://youtu.be/21HprKZQczs You might have heard about chaos engineering in the context of Netflix and Amazon, and how they kill EC2 servers in production at random to verify that their systems can stay up in the face of infrastructure failures. But did you know that the same ideas can be applied to serverless applications? Yes, despite not having access to the underlying servers, we can still apply principles of chaos engineering to uncover failure modes in our system (and there are plenty!) so we can build defence against them and make our serverless applications more robust and more resilient!

The document discusses refactoring a monolithic application architecture to a serverless one in 8 steps: 1) Reverse Conway's Maneuver by structuring teams around independent services, 2) Identify service boundaries, 3) Organize code into separate repositories for each service, 4) Choose deployment and CI/CD tools, 5) Keep functions simple and single-purpose, 6) Migrate features to new services incrementally, and 7) Maintain API compatibility during migration. The overall approach is to break the monolith into independent microservices that can be developed and deployed separately for improved scalability, resilience and development velocity.

This document discusses how to build a social network using serverless technologies like AWS AppSync, DynamoDB, Lambda and GraphQL within 4 weeks. It outlines the team and timeline used, as well as the serverless architecture built including services like Cognito, S3, Lambda and AppSync. It also discusses considerations around testing, deployment and security when using the Serverless framework to deploy the serverless application.

Serverless technologies drastically simplify the task of building modern, scalable APIs in the cloud, and GraphQL makes it easy for frontend teams to consume these APIs and to iterate quickly on your product idea. Together, they are a perfect combination for a product-focused, full-stack team to deliver customer values quickly. In this talk, see how we built a new social network mobile app in under 4 weeks using Lambda, AppSync, DynamoDB and Algolia. How we approached CI/CD, testing, authentication and lessons we learnt along the way.

Looking in from the outside, serverless seems so simple! And yet, many companies are struggling on their journey to serverless. In this talk, I highlight a number of mistakes companies are making when they adopt serverless.

The document discusses how businesses can gain a competitive advantage in the post-COVID economy through the use of serverless technologies on AWS. It notes that consumers and businesses will have less revenue due to the pandemic, requiring companies to become more efficient. Serverless computing allows companies to focus on business logic rather than infrastructure management and reduces costs since customers only pay for resources used. This creates an opportunity for new variable cost business models and more agile, competitive companies through the use of serverless technologies like AWS Lambda and API Gateway.

In this talk we debunk common myths and misconceptions about serverless - how cold starts works, serverless is not just about saving operational cost, think about control with responsibility, and think about vendor lock-in with the reward.

How to make successful use of the cloud for your software startup. Based on 4 years of using various cloud services. Includes advice, war stories, and best practices. Presented at CoderFaire Atlanta 2013.

The challenges of managing many, smaller deployable services mean that what we need in terms of deployment platforms are very different to what was needed before. But few areas of software technology have been experiencing as much innovation and churn as the deployment options available for microservice architectures. From appication containers, to docker, to mesos and beyond, this talk will break apart the myriad challenges that can come from managing microservices at scale, and how to pick the right technologies for you.

Hosted on CodeMotion.

The document discusses serverless computing and various use cases for it. It begins by explaining what serverless means, which is not having to manage servers yourself and only paying for resources when they are used. Various AWS serverless services are then mentioned like API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, etc. Common questions around serverless are addressed such as how to handle websockets, cold starts, data pipelines, business workflows, and video encoding. Use cases covered include REST APIs, real-time apps, big data processing, and devops automation.

Slides from my Talk at DevCon Live Javaweek 2020 How can I test my microservices? It's an often heard question that leads to a lot of debate. Deployment and interdependence with other services are the challenges we're facing there. So, what if we could treat our microservices tests just like our familiar unit tests? What if we could isolate the microservice and mock all its dependencies? With mock-server you can do just that. Mock-server lets you mock any http service, making you independent of other teams building those services. And the best part is, you can use it with the tools you already know like JUnit, Maven and Docker and do all the things you already know from your favorite Java mocking framework. You can run mock-server locally, as part of your Maven build or as a Docker image in your cloud environment. In this session I will show you exactly how you can use mock-server for your tests.

A slow time to market and the associated cost of delay is crippling many organisations as their strategic platforms can no longer support innovation to stay ahead. Often these platforms are built in silos, which are hard to integrate with or change. Companies like Amazon, Netflix, RBS and eBay have shown that it needn't be this way. This revolution is being driven in large part by their adoption of microservice architectures, they are building systems composed of small collaborating services that can be changed, scaled or even replaced independently - but employing Microservices is not without challenges.

Short version of my talk on how to keep CI/CD pipelines as fast as needed. This presentation delves into why fast build pipelines are important and explores different approaches to achieve and measure this.

The growth of the public cloud market is obvious to everyone. But what’s less well known is that enterprises are still growing the infrastructure and services they run for themselves. A common reason cited for the continual growth in private cloud rather than adopting public cloud offerings are concerns about being locked in to a specific vendor. This talk analyses the concerns about vendor lock-in with respect to the adoption of public cloud. Sam will share with you not only whether or not the concerns of lock-in have merit in the real world, but will also present some tools you can use to help your own thinking in this regard.

Slides from my talk at the GOTO meetup in Stockholm on 5th of April 2017. The talk is about the flow in microservices, so how a bunch of loosely coupled microservices can fulfill an overall business goal.

A rough and researchy presentation where I tried out some new material in front of a local audience. Skipped the usual introduction and talked about some of the problems people run into when they do microservices and miss a few things. More refined version of this talk to be shown at O'Reilly Software Architecture Conference in New York in April.

Do you find constantly rebuilding things that don’t need rebuilding? If yes, this talk is for you. The way your codebase is structured impacts what you need to rebuild after each commit, therefore, the codebase needs to be re-architectured with the build pipeline in mind. Sometimes you’ll have many responsibilities packed in one module, so you rebuild all of them every time you change one. Or maybe you have a multi-tiered application and adding a feature implies modifying (and rebuilding) all tiers, with cascading effects. In this talk we’ll go over scenarios like this and others, showing how the code can be rewritten in a way that minimises unnecessary rebuilds. In the end, you’ll be equipped with a number of techniques that will help you manage your build pipeline.

At the heart of every event-driven architecture is a conduit for messages to flow through. AWS offers many services that can act as such conduit - EventBridge, SNS, SQS, Kinesis, DynamoDB streams, MSK, IOT Core and Amazon MQ just to name a few! These services have different characteristics and trade-offs around performance, scalability and cost. Picking the right service for your workload is not always easy. In this talk, let’s talk about how to pick the right messaging service to use in your event-driven architecture and play the game of trade-offs to your advantage.

This document contains a summary of best practices for using Lambda and DynamoDB presented by Yan Cui. Some key recommendations include implementing observability from the start by using metrics and alerts to monitor performance, creating separate AWS accounts for each team and environment, loading secrets securely from SSM Parameter Store at runtime, following the principle of least privilege with IAM policies, parallelizing functions where possible, and various DynamoDB optimizations like using DocumentClient and PAY_PER_REQUEST billing. The document emphasizes that best practices depend on individual contexts and situations.

This document provides lessons learned from running three AppSync projects in production over 18 months. It discusses preferences for using VTL over Lambda resolvers for CRUD operations due to VTL being faster, cheaper and simpler. It also recommends per-resolver caching over full request caching. Other tips include not leaving logging on full in production, handling user errors gracefully, planning for nested CloudFormation stacks for large projects, and modeling multi-tenancy using Cognito groups and attributes.

Learn all about AWS Step Functions and how to use them to model business workflows and ship customer values quickly. In this session, we will talk about what is Step Functions, how to model business workflows as state machines, real-world case studies, and design patterns. By the end of this webinar, you should have a good idea of where Step Functions fit into your application and why you should use them (and why not!) to model workflows instead of building a custom solution yourself.

One of the key characteristics of serverless components is the pay-per-use pricing model. For example, with AWS Lambda, you don’t pay for the uptime of the underlying infrastructure but for the no. of invocations and how long your code actually runs for. This important characteristic removes the need for many premature micro-optimizations as your cost is always tightly linked to usage and minimizes waste. As a result, many applications would run at a fraction of the cost if they were moved to serverless. The pay-per-use pricing model also enables more accurate cost prediction and monitoring based on your application’s throughput. This gives rise to the notion of FinDev, where finance and development can intersect and allows optimization to be targeted to give the optimal return-on-invest on the engineering efforts. And by building your application on serverless components, you can also leverage it as a business advantage and offer a more competitive, usage-based pricing to your customers. Which is going to be crucial at a time when businesses all around the world are affected by COVID and are looking for better efficiencies. In this webinar, we will cover topics such as: - How does the cost of serverless differ from serverful applications? - How to predict and monitor cost in serverless applications? - When should you optimize for cost? - How can you leverage usage-based pricing as a business advantage?

In this webinar, Yan Cui and Lumigo Software Engineer Guy Moses will discuss some of the power of GraphQL and AppSync and why AppSync + Lambda + DynamoDB should be your stack of choice in 2021 and beyond!

AWS has improved Lambda cold starts by leaps and bounds in the last year. But for performance-sensitive applications such as user-facing APIs, Lambda cold starts are still a thorn in one’s side, especially when working with languages such as Java and .Net Core.

When a Lambda function times out, it’s one of the trickier problems to debug, especially if the function performs multiple IO calls. What was it doing when it timed out? And how do I identify these timeout errors quickly when Lambda lumps them together with other unhandled exceptions? In this webinar, we will show you how to identify and debug timeout errors, and strategies for mitigating timeouts and degraded performance more gracefully when there are underlying issues.

The document discusses security best practices for serverless applications. It emphasizes that application dependencies represent a large attack surface and inputs/outputs should be sanitized. The least privilege principle and compartmentalization are important, as is encrypting data at rest and in transit. Unused functions should be deleted, and threats like DoS attacks and credential theft should be guarded against. People can be the weakest link, so secure credentials and implement authentication. The document provides resources for further reading on these topics.

In this webinar, we will take a deep dive into AWS Organizations, what it is, and why you should use it. We will review how to use the open-source tool org-formation to manage your entire AWS Organization using infrastructure-as-code.

Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality. Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality. Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality. Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank? ** Episode Overview ** In this first episode of our quality series, Kristen Hansen and the panel discuss: ⦿ What do we mean when we say patent quality? ⦿ Why is patent quality important? ⦿ How to balance quality and budget ⦿ The importance of searching, continuations, and draftsperson domain expertise ⦿ Very practical tips, tricks, examples, and Kristen’s Musts for drafting quality applications https://www.aurorapatents.com/patently-strategic-podcast.html

Stream processing is a crucial component of modern data infrastructure, but constructing an efficient and scalable stream processing system can be challenging. Decoupling compute and storage architecture has emerged as an effective solution to these challenges, but it can introduce high latency issues, especially when dealing with complex continuous queries that necessitate managing extra-large internal states. In this talk, we focus on addressing the high latency issues associated with S3 storage in stream processing systems that employ a decoupled compute and storage architecture. We delve into the root causes of latency in this context and explore various techniques to minimize the impact of S3 latency on stream processing performance. Our proposed approach is to implement a tiered storage mechanism that leverages a blend of high-performance and low-cost storage tiers to reduce data movement between the compute and storage layers while maintaining efficient processing. Throughout the talk, we will present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in mitigating the impact of S3 latency on stream processing. By the end of the talk, attendees will have gained insights into how to optimize their stream processing systems for reduced latency and improved cost-efficiency.
