Going serverless? Worried about challenges with performance, cost, and scale? At CapitalOne, we embraced a serverless first mentality across thousands of applications live today. This talk covers our journey into serverless.

The cloud modernization journey often requires a change in developer skill sets, new tooling, new best practices, and new architecture standards. One of the best ways to develop best practices and the right standardizations across your enterprise is to create an enterprise-wide center of excellence (COE).

Going serverless? Worried about challenges with performance, cost, and scale? At CapitalOne, we embraced a serverless first mentality across thousands of applications live today. This talk covers our journey into serverless, the best practices we picked up, and the lessons learned along the way.

In this session, Capital One shares concrete examples of how they have implemented serverless patterns, challenges they have faced, and the best practices and tips they have learned from operating AWS Lambda at scale in production. Dive deep on scaling Lambda with various event sources, considerations of event source integrations, observability at scale, and failure-handling mechanisms.

Enterprises like Capital One are using serverless to build highly scalable and secure serverless applications to meet the financial needs of their customers. Internally, they use the AWS SAM to develop and test these applications quickly.

Join this session for a discussion on patterns you can use to build your serverless APIs. Learn about REST APIs powered by Amazon API Gateway and compare them to GraphQL APIs on AWS AppSync.

In this chalk talk, we discuss the various options for building internet-facing APIs and microservices covering the semantics of RESTful and GraphQL API types. Learn how and when to use each, their pros and cons, and the core principles to follow when picking the right patterns for your next workload.
