Serverless 2020 Highlights

This dog cannot find his favorite fetch toy (where is it?)

Lambda Functions

Good point from the AWS presentation: Lambda responds to Data.

The event-driven nature of Lambda makes it hands-down the best architecture today. It responds directly to scale. It's simple.

My favorites:

• Data Dog Extensions

• Also Security with Signed Lambdas

• Millisecond Billing and EC2 Savings

My "doubts" (love that Indian synonym for questions)

• Container Image Support

• Provisioned Concurrency

Workflows

Step Functions now have better support for synchronous workflows. Airflow is an old friend of mine and has an extensive set of pre-built workflows.

• Synchronous Workflows

• Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow

Deployment Services

Again for my favorite Indian word, have 'doubts' on AWS Proton.

My doubt on this one is why don't you use codebuild and cloudformation? Is it really agile?

Is there really that hard? From the buildspec.xml in CodeBuild.

build:
  commands:
    - echo "[+] Installing dependencies...."
    - echo "Running Cloud Formation scripts on `date` in `pwd`"
    - aws cloudformation package --template-file src/monitoring/template.yml --s3-bucket azri.us-deploy --output-template-file packaged-template.yaml
    - aws cloudformation deploy --template-file packaged-template.yaml --stack-name AzriusMonitoring --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM
