Serverless and event-driven workloads on AWS are well known for their inherent high availability and scalability, offering a robust platform right out of the box. In the world of cloud, it's well known that everything fails all the time. This reality becomes even more complex when serverless systems interact with non-serverless components. In this post, I'll dig into architecture concepts that can help you handle failures effectively.

In this post we'll look at Amazon Verified Permissions (AVP) a serverless service for easy management and enforcement of application permissions, and how to use it to secure Amazon API gateway API together with Cognito User Pools.

AWS offers several great serverless services for data engineering and analytics. In this post I describe my serverless analytics setup for click stream analytics of a static webpage, using Amazon Glue, Athena, Managed Grafana for analytics. Data ingestion and storage with Lamba@Edge, StepFunctions and S3.

Introducing My Serverless Handbook. This will be the home to my serverless experience and learnings on AWS. It all started 2015 with the creation of my first Lambda function, now several years later, serverless solutions are still my passion. This is my story, this is my journey, this is my experience!

Calling an API from AWS StepFunctions has for a long time required us to write a Lambda function to handle that. With the release of HTTP EndPoint there is no need for that anymore. In this post I'll go over the functionality and show how to use it.

How do we efficiently redirect users from one site to an other? In this post we'll create a solution using serverless technologies to handle this redirect in an efficient way. We'll use AWS, CloudFront, and the new Function KeyValueStore.

The Frugal Architect. Many workloads can utilize the effective Graviton (ARM) based CPU, Switching to Graviton is often an easy way to save on cost. Graviton delivers the best cost vs performance. This blog post will show the migration process for three different workloads.
