Delivering at pace while evolving a Serverless architecture (Brad Jacques) - SLSDays ANZ 2024

Presented at #ServerlessDays ANZ 2024 (Auckland)
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
