Module 6: Event-Driven Development Using Queues and Streams

• Development considerations when using polling event sources to trigger Lambda functions
• Distinctions between queues and streams as event sources for Lambda
• Selecting appropriate configurations when using Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) or Amazon Kinesis Data Streams as an event source for Lambda
• Try-it-out exercise: Configure an Amazon SQS queue with a dead-letter queue as a Lambda event source

Objectives

• Applying event-driven best practices to a serverless application design using appropriate AWS services
• Identifying the challenges and trade-offs of transitioning to serverless development, and make recommendations that suit your development organization and environment
• Building serverless applications using patterns that connect AWS managed services together, and accounting for service characteristics, including service quotas, available integrations, invocation model, error handling, and event source payload
• Comparing and contrasting available options for writing infrastructure as code, including AWS CloudFormation, AWS Amplify, AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM), and AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK)
• Applying best practices to writing Lambda functions inclusive of error handling, logging, environment re-use, using layers, statelessness, idempotency, and configuring concurrency and memory
• Applying best practices for building observability and monitoring into your serverless application
• Applying security best practices to serverless applications
• Identifying key scaling considerations in a serverless application, and matching each consideration to the methods, tools, or best practices to manage it
• Using AWS SAM, AWS CDK, and AWS developer tools to configure a CI/CD workflow, and automate deployment of a serverless application
