AWS Serverless Microservices with Patterns and Best Practices - Thinking Serverless

The video tutorial introduces serverless architecture, focusing on AWS services. It explains the concept of serverless, highlighting its benefits such as automatic scaling, cost efficiency, and reduced infrastructure management. The tutorial outlines the operational model of serverless, emphasizing the importance of event-driven design and statelessness. It also covers security aspects using AWS Cognito and IAM. The video concludes with an overview of various AWS serverless services, including Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB, illustrating how they can be used to build scalable and efficient applications.

What is a key advantage of serverless computing?

• Fixed billing model

• Automatic scaling

• Limited service integration

• Manual server management

Which of the following is NOT a pillar of serverless as an operational model?

• Pay for idle time

• No infrastructure provisioning

• Focus on business logic

• Built-in availability

How does serverless architecture help in cost management?

• By requiring upfront payment

• By charging for idle time

• By using a pay-for-value model

• By limiting scalability

What is a benefit of serverless architecture in terms of application development?

• Complex configuration

• Faster iteration and feedback

• Higher operational overhead

• Slower time to market

In serverless architecture, what is the significance of events?

• They replace all functions

• They drive the serverless solution

• They are optional triggers

• They are used only for logging

Which AWS service is used for real-time data streaming in serverless applications?

• DynamoDB

• API Gateway

• Kinesis

• S3

What should be the focus when designing serverless applications?

• Avoiding data flow considerations

• Minimizing service usage

• Using a broad range of services

• Centralizing Lambda functions
