Abstract
A real client case study in how to deliver a project with fixed cost, scope, and deadline. Demonstrating:
- event driven architecture using AWS Lambda
- how to iterate and evolve a serverless architecture
- performance tuning and scaling a serverless solution
- observeability of a serverless solution
- dealing with ambiguity
- deliver with a small highly focused team across UX, Data, API
- build and maintaining working software from the start of the project (walking skeleton)
- continuous feedback, using empirical data from running your software to guide where to spike next and evolve
- examples of being pragmatic, doing the simplest thing, to reduce delivery risk
- shift left and address security and production operation concerns early in the build
- integration with Snowflake
