This video is a free preview for my course: AWS Lambda - A Practical Guide. Join thousands of other students and learn the most important parts of AWS Lambda: bit.ly/aws-lambda-course
Really like your videos. Thank you for the time and effort your put into these. Your video on S3 helped me get one of the best presentation grades in my AWS DevOps training cohort!
9:00 doesn't ec2 also 1. you don't not need to manage hardware 2. can use AWS builtin security 3. can autoscale 4. pay for what you use 5. performant 6. service integration 7. easy to use
I did not know much about AWS until today and just within a few hours watching your videos on youtube, I don't feel overwhelmed anymore about learning everything that AWS has to offer. Serverless services make things so much easier for someone who is just starting to learn AWS. Thank you so much for your excellent videos!
I have a sinking feeling small companies that launch products using Lambda will suddenly, mysteriously, be competing with Amazon's identical product 6 months down the line. Hm.
Possibly. I am wondering what kind of people use it and for what. If one uses it for data science, say, with a long running CPU intensive task how expensive would it be and would I be better off using a VPS?
Really looking forward to more information about cold starts, especially when it comes to micro service architecture, if possible. Maybe even cost comparisons between running a server 24/7 with something like ECS/Fargate vs. using provisioned concurrency.
You might check out “Serverless Architectures on AWS - Second Edition” by Peter Sbarski, Yan Cui, and Ajay Nair. It discusses real life implementations using Lambda and Fargate with some mention of cost considerations. Am reading it now. Be sure to get the second edition, though, which is a very recent release.
Awesome overview! Thanks! (: Can anyone expand on the limitations of using lambda? What specifics aspects of control one could consider not to use lambda instead of prioritising deployment for users?
So great explanations. I'm in Sec Arch but as ex-dev very hard to find learnings like this. Thx for all vids already 2hrs Today and getting back on AWS
I gonna take your course for sure. I want to ask U, what you would suggest the most for the local development environment setup between CDK and SAM? I need to use Lambda with Python for a project which will interact with SQS, Rest APIs and will probably use DynamoDB or Aurora for the data layer. Coming from the java world, I'd like to create lots of unit tests and mocks (I saw moto as framework) and be able to debug the code locally pointing to the real infrastructure or to mocks. With such requirements, what would you suggest between CDK and SAM? I saw the summary of your course and I didn't see anything regarding development environment setup, unit tests and mocks. Maybe something regarding CDK. If it is so, I suggest you to add something. Thank you a lot for all the work you do, really appreciated.
Hi there. For infrastructure setup I suggest using cdk. For local testing, cdk has a new feature that lets you leverage Sam to execute your lambda code in a local docker container. I made a video on this recently called if you check my recent uploads. Hope this helps!
really looking forward to your Udemy course but they don't seem to be having a sale right now - any chance of that happening soon or getting a coupon code?
