API World + Integrate 2016

In this talk we’ll explore how two revolutionary ideas come together: Microservice architectures that help you organize your backend into individually deployable units, and implementing those services in a functional way using AWS Lambda. During the talk we’ll stand up a secure, scalable, fault-tolerant service from scratch to demonstrate the power and simplicity of this approach. We’ll also see how built-in integration with cloud-based monitoring makes Lambda function-based microservices easy to monitor, and how you can quickly develop clients for a variety of platforms, languages, and devices to use these services.
