Title: Zombie Apocalypse Survival: Building Serverless Microservices
Abstract:
This workshop is open to all developers with a basic familiarity with AWS APIs. Please bring your own laptop.
Zombies have taken over major metropolitan areas. The AWS Lambda Signals Corp has built a communications system to connect remaining survivors. Come learn how AWS Lambda provides a platform for building event-driven microservices, all without the need to provision, manage, and scale servers. In this workshop, we will introduce the basics of using AWS Lambda to run code in response to events from Amazon DynamoDB, S3, and API Gateway. You'll work within a team to build a secure, scalable, fault-tolerant chat service with global reach from scratch using blueprints provided by us. Unfortunately, the blueprints provided only describe a very rudimentary communications system (the engineers of the project got mysteriously ill). We are looking to you and your team to add additional real-time life saving features (e.g., food cache locations, zombie motion detectors, undead counters) to the chat platform using Lambda functions.
We will have a few special challenges for teams to complete. Rewards will be given to teams that complete all the extra-credit challenges.
