Optimizing the Data Tier for Serverless Web Applications - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

AWS Lambda empowers developers to build cloud-native web applications or platforms using microservices architectures. This tech talk walks you through the process of identifying the presentation, logic, and data tiers required to build web applications with AWS Lambda at the core. By using AWS Lambda as your logic tier, you have a wide number of data storage options for your data tier. AWS offers a wide range of database services to fit your application requirements. We dive into methodologies for picking the right database/datastore technology based on your application requirements. We demonstrate connecting your serverless app to various AWS database offerings including Amazon RDS, Amazon Aurora, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon ElastiCache, and elaborate on the setup of each option with AWS Lambda. We also provide guidelines and best practices for implementing this architecture pattern, such as setting up a VPC on Lambda to connect to private resources and managing database connections.
