Are you considering cloud migration? If you want to take advantage of serverless apps and cloud functions while learning how to utilize AWS Lambda to it's fullest, join us and dive into serverless architecture!
Serverless platforms significantly reduce the cost of running high-performance web sites and API services in the cloud, but with a major impact on architecture, these services also require teams to re-think how to approach sessions, storage, authorization and testing.
This workshop is based on real-world experience of moving a large collaboration platform from Heroku to AWS Lambda, leading to a huge improvement in scalability and performance, and a significant decrease in cost.
This course is perfect if you are a software developer or architect migrating from on-premise applications to the cloud or also if you are investigating the migration from self-managed applications (virtual machines in the cloud) or Platform-as-a-Service (Heroku, Google App Engine) applications to AWS Lambda and cloud functions.
A working knowledge of JavaScript is encouraged as coding examples will be in JavaScript/Node.js to keep things simple and make it easy for everyone to follow regardless of their primary platform. You should be comfortable writing simple functions and flows.
Attendees will need to bring your own laptop with the following installed:
