Optimizing AWS LambdaServerless services, such as AWS Lambda, are tempting us with the promise of automated and effortless scalability. Managed serverless services are designed to easily scale to unbelievable levels, quickly adjusting to the upcoming workloads, and to run in an environment highly abstracted from the hardware underneath. All those traits make it very easy to think about the optimization of your services as a second-class citizen. After all, Lambda will just scale up when needed, so why spending time and money on optimization?#aws#severless#lambda#cloud16 Dec 2019

To learn how we manage to do this successfully, join me in the final part of the Developing Modern Apps for Financial Markets Series!#architecture#webdev#angular#projectmanagement29 Aug 2019
