Workshop: Serverless First on AWS
About
During this workshop you will learn about how building solutions on AWS by leveraging a "serverless-first" philosophy can provide increased agility, lower total cost of ownership (TCO), and be the fastest path to production.
We will then build a chat application that uses a variety of serverless services. In the process you will learn about the primary serverless compute services, understand how these services can work together to deliver a cohesive solution, and gain confidence in architecting workloads with serverless first patterns.
Architecture Diagram
The following diagram shows the architecture that is deployed in the workshop:
The application has three main components:
- A frontend web application, which is powered by an AWS App Runner container
- A backend WebSocket chat server, which runs in AWS Fargate
- A search indexer and search query endpoint, which is powered by AWS Lambda and Amazon OpenSearch Serverless
