ServerlessMN

The meetup for serverless technologies in Minnesota.

[AJ Stuyvenberg @astuyve]

If you weren't able to join us for @serverlessMN, the video of @bryson3gps's talk on CI/CD for SAM has been uploaded!

Putting it all together, it looks like this - @bryson3gps @ServerlessMN

[AJ Stuyvenberg @astuyve]

Use PreTraffic functions to update CodeDeploy _before_ traffic shifting begins! This is a separate lambda function that will exercise your new code before it responds to production traffic. @bryson3gps @ServerlessMN #Serverless

[AJ Stuyvenberg @astuyve]

Let's talk about safe, gradual releases. Traffic shift! This will shift traffic 10% every minute, for 10 minutes, and triggers an alarm on high error rate.

If there's a problem, this kills the stack deploy and triggers a rollback. - @bryson3gps

AMAZING! - me
@ServerlessMN

[AJ Stuyvenberg @astuyve]

We enforce a pretty high bar for test coverage on Serverless Applications because we find most code in our #lambda functions is testable! - @bryson3gps @ServerlessMN

[AJ Stuyvenberg @astuyve]

Your machine is not AWS. To get started, SAM local is great. But your test suite _should_ run against live services. #serverless @ServerlessMN

[AJ Stuyvenberg @astuyve]

Design your templates so anyone can stand them up independently. Lean on that pay-per-use model and set up a new stack to test new features, then tear them down when you're done. @bryson3gps @ServerlessMN #serverless

[AJ Stuyvenberg @astuyve]

"Limit your scope, limit your risk." talking about simple, single responsibility functions. This parallels the multi-repo strategy, and heavily leverages the @edjgeek-approved method of Lambda Layers for shared code. #serverlessforeveryone @ServerlessMN

[AJ Stuyvenberg @astuyve]

@bryson3gps is calling on everyone to @ @edjgeek right now if you're trying to learn more about SAM. 👇

People Matter

[AJ Stuyvenberg @astuyve]

Unthreading this because it's so important:
People. Matter.

Logs, metrics, and traces are important facets for anyone practicing #observability - but without building up your team, the effort will be for naught.

@ServerlessMom @ServerlessMN

[AJ Stuyvenberg @astuyve]

If Observability is the time it takes you to understand the problem, gleaning that insight from logs is gonna take a long time!

[AJ Stuyvenberg @astuyve]

"Everything starts with a dot" - Kandinsky

including your metrics - @ServerlessMom

[AJ Stuyvenberg @astuyve]

Let's talk about the 3 main components of modern observability

[AJ Stuyvenberg @astuyve]

Live now with @ServerlessMom at @ServerlessMN!

[AJ Stuyvenberg @astuyve]

Observability, and how can I:
- Understand the problem
- Understand how to fix the problem
@ServerlessMom

[ServerlessMN @ServerlessMN]

Hoping to see you there!

[AJ Stuyvenberg @astuyve]

@ServerlessMN with @ServerlessMom is only an hour away! RSVP now to hear about #Serverless observability!
