AWS Lambda under the Hood
Mike Danilov, a senior principal engineer at AWS, presented on AWS Lambda and what is under the hood during QCon San Francisco 2023. This article represents the talk, which will start with an introduction to Lambda itself to outline the key concepts of the service and its fundamentals, which will facilitate a deep dive into the understanding of the system.

Lambda Throttling - How to Avoid It?
This article aims to explain best practices if you have throttled your application and services and suggestions for how to handle these cases. We performed an in-house experiment at Jit (a SaaS-based DevSecOps platform) built on serverless to learn how our application behaves.

Building Workflows with AWS Step Functions
AWS Step Functions use a state machine to represent the workflow. A workflow consists of a set of tasks, each of which represents a discrete activity to be performed. Each task is defined by a state of the state machine. In this article, we will learn about the main concepts of AWS Step Functions and apply those to build a workflow for a sample business process: Order Fulfillment.

Exploring Architectural Concepts Building a Card Game
One of the things I missed during the pandemic were my friends, the possibility to meet them, discuss with them and, why not, play cards with them. So I decided to implement an app to play Scopone with my friends and, at the same time, test “in the code” some architectural concepts which had been intriguing me for some time.

Serverless Solution to Offload Polling for Asynchronous Operation Status Using Amazon S3
This article proposes a solution to redirect the polling part to the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) - a highly available, scalable, and secured object storage service managed by Amazon Web Services public cloud provider (AWS). It will present a serverless implementation using AWS Lambda functions, but this is not mandatory if you want to use S3.

Why AWS Lambda Pricing Has to Change for the Enterprise
AWS Lambda users pay only when their code is run. This can result in massive cost savings over long-running workloads. The advantages start to disappear quickly when AWS Lambda is employed for batch processing. Enterprises can gain significantly from the scalability of FaaS - yet a price comparison between EC2, Lambda, and Fargate, the AWS-managed container service, reveals an ugly truth.
