AWS Serverless Microservices with Patterns and Best Practices - AWS Lambda as a Microservice

The video tutorial explains the role of AWS Lambda in serverless architecture, focusing on its integration with microservices. It highlights the advantages of microservices, such as independent deployment and technology diversity. AWS Lambda is presented as a key component for achieving agility and reducing operational complexity. The tutorial also addresses challenges in microservices environments and how serverless solutions can mitigate these issues. The use of Amazon API Gateway with AWS Lambda is discussed as a method to streamline microservices architecture.

What is one of the main advantages of using microservices?

• They require a single technology stack.

• They can be deployed independently.

• They are always more cost-effective.

• They eliminate the need for APIs.

How does AWS Lambda contribute to serverless architecture?

• By increasing the need for infrastructure monitoring.

• By requiring manual server management.

• By supporting only one programming language.

• By eliminating operational complexity.

What is a key benefit of using managed services in serverless microservices?

• Increased architectural overhead.

• Increased need for manual scaling.

• Simplified scalability and availability.

• Mandatory use of AWS SDK.

What challenge is reduced by using serverless resources in microservice environments?

• The need for a single programming language.

• The complexity of running multiple versions.

• The requirement for a monolithic architecture.

• The need for manual server scaling.

How does API Gateway assist in managing microservices?

• By increasing server utilization.

• By limiting the number of APIs.

• By providing programmatic client SDKs.

• By requiring manual API creation.

What is a common difficulty in microservice environments?

• Requirement for a single database model.

• Lack of programming language support.

• Inability to use different technologies.

• Overhead in creating new microservices.

What does AWS SDK enable in the context of serverless microservices?

• Limited language support.

• Increased server management.

• Programmatic creation of APIs.

• Manual API integration.
