Introduction to Serverless Architectures

You've scaled your application to 10M requests/day. Suddenly, your DB connection pool is maxed out and your server costs are skyrocketing. It's time to consider a serverless architecture. In this tutorial, we'll explore how to design and implement a serverless architecture using API Gateway, DynamoDB, and S3.

The Problem We Faced

When we scaled our application to 10M requests/day, we discovered that our database connection pool was maxed out and our server costs were increasing exponentially. We needed a solution that would allow us to scale horizontally without breaking the bank.

What We Tried First (and why it failed)

We tried using a load balancer and autoscaling our servers, but this only temporarily solved the problem.
