Serverless Architectures with AWS

By: Mohit Gupta

Overview of this book

Serverless Architecture with AWS begins with an introduction to the serverless model and helps you get started with AWS and Lambda. You'll also get to grips with other capabilities of the AWS Serverless Platform and see how AWS supports enterprise-grade serverless applications with and without Lambda. This book will guide you in deploying your first serverless project and exploring the capabilities of serverless Amazon Athena, an interactive query service that makes it easy to analyze data in Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3 Amazon) using standard SQL. You’ll also learn about AWS Glue, a fully managed ETL service that makes categorizing data easy and cost-effective. You'll study how Amazon Kinesis makes it possible to unleash the potential of real-time data insights and analytics with capabilities such as video streams, data streams, data firehose, and data analytics. Last but not least, you’ll be equipped to combine Amazon Kinesis capabilities with AWS Lambda to create lightweight serverless architectures. By the end of the book, you will be ready to create and run your first serverless application that takes advantage of the high availability, security, performance, and scalability of AWS.

Introduction


In the previous chapter, we focused on understanding the serverless model and getting started with AWS and Lambda, the first building blocks of a serverless application on AWS. You also learned about how the serverless model differs from traditional product development.

In this chapter, we will learn about other AWS capabilities such as S3, SNS, and SQS. You can start by asking students about different AWS serverless technologies that the students have heard about or have had the chance to work with. Talk to them briefly about different AWS services such as S3 storage, API Gateway, SNS, SQS, and DynamoDB services. We will discuss them in detail in this chapter.
