Wild Rydes (www.wildrydes.com) needs your help! With fresh funding from its seed investors, Wild Rydes is seeking to build the world’s greatest mobile/VR/AR unicorn transportation system. The scrappy startup needs a first-class webpage to begin marketing to new users and to begin its plans for global domination. Join us to help Wild Rydes build a website using a serverless architecture. You’ll build a scalable website using services like AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon S3. Join this workshop to hop on the rocket ship! To complete this workshop, you'll need: Your laptop AWS Account AWS Command Line Interface Google Chrome git Text Editor

2. What to Expect from the Session
• Overview of serverless computing
• Introduction to the AWS services used in this
workshop
• Outline of the workshop scenario
• Preview of the labs and the solutions you’ll build

3. Serverless Computing

4. In the beginning…

5. Physical Hardware – Concern Space
• Procurement
• Power
• Cooling
• Asset Tracking
• Remote Hands
• IP Transit
• Colocation
• Capacity Planning
• Hardware Refreshes
• Storage
• Depreciation
• Physical Security
• Networking Equipment
• Cabling

6. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
• Allows developers to
obtain compute capacity
on-demand
• Create virtual servers in
the cloud with the click of
a button
• Launched in 2006

7. Amazon EC2
Match Capacity and
Demand
Global Footprint Elasticity
Provision Servers in
Minutes
Infrastructure as
Code
Programmatic
Networking

8. Servers – Concern Space
• Configuration
Management
• Security Patches
• Server Utilization
• Operating Systems
• Auto Scaling Policies
• Monitoring
• Intrusion Detection
• Resiliency
• Machine Images
• Access Management
• Capacity Planning
• Hourly Billing
• Code Deployment

9. Serverless Computing
Build and run applications and
services without thinking of
servers
• Fully Managed
• Developer Productivity
• Continuous Scaling

10. Serverless Computing
Fully Managed
• No provisioning
• No system administration
• No security patches
• Fault tolerant
Developer Productivity
• Focus on your application
• Experiment and innovate
quickly
Continuous Scaling
• Scale up and down with
demand
• Never pay for idle
resources

11. The Serverless Manifesto
• Functions are the unit of deployment and scaling.
• No machines, VMs, or containers visible in the programming model.
• Permanent storage lives elsewhere.
• Scales per request. Users cannot over- or under-provision capacity.
• Never pay for idle (no cold servers/containers or their costs).
• Implicitly fault tolerant because functions can run anywhere.
• BYOC - Bring your own code.
• Metrics and logging are a universal right.

12. Services

13. AWS Lambda
Run code without provisioning servers
• Run functions in response to events to build
back ends, data processing systems, event handlers
• Code runs in isolated containers on Amazon Linux
• Bring your own code and libraries: Node.js, Python,
Java (even native libraries)
• Run code in parallel – democratized scale

14. AWS Lambda
No Servers to Manage Continuous Scaling Don’t Pay for Idle Resources
Lambda allows you to run
application logic without
provisioning servers or worrying
about the health or security of
underlying resources
Lambda scales infrastructure
beneath your application logic;
just send requests and events
and Lambda will automatically
scale to accommodate it
With Lambda, you are billed in
100 ms increments of execution
time and number of requests
and you are never charged for
anything when your code isn’t
running

15. Amazon DynamoDB
Fast and flexible NoSQL database service
for any scale
• Fully managed database built for applications
that need single-digit millisecond latency at any scale
• Pay only for the throughput and storage that you need
• Supports both document and key-value data structures
• React to data changes via triggers to Lambda

16. Amazon API Gateway
Create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale
Create a unified API
front end for multiple
back-end microservices
DDoS and throttling to
protect your back-end
microservices
Authenticate and authorize
requests to your back-end
microservices

17. Amazon Cognito
Add user sign-up, sign-in, and data synchronization to your apps
Add user sign-up and
sign-in to your mobile and
web apps
Federate identities and
provide secure access to
AWS resources
Store and sync across
devices

18. Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)
Durable, massively scalable object storage
• Designed for 99.999999999% durability and
99.99% availability
• Stores trillions of objects and regularly handles
millions of requests per second
• Effectively infinite storage without provisioning
capacity

19. Amazon S3
S3 is a low-cost, highly available solution for static
website hosting – and it’s completely serverless
• Reliably serve your static website and handle
unexpected peaks without worrying about scaling
your infrastructure
• Integrates with Amazon CloudFront for edge delivery
of content across the globe

20. Workshop Overview

21. Scenario: Wild Rydes
Wild Rydes needs your help! With fresh
funding from its seed investors, Wild
Rydes is seeking to build the world’s
greatest mobile/VR/AR unicorn
transportation system. The scrappy
startup needs a first-class webpage to
begin marketing to new users and to
begin its plans for global domination.

22. Scenario: Wild Rydes

23. Lab 1: Static Website Hosting
OBJECTIVE: Create a bucket in Amazon S3 and configure it for
static website hosting. Distribute your website globally using
Amazon CloudFront.

24. Lab 2: Beta Sign-Up Mailing List
OBJECTIVE: Allow visitors to submit their email address to subscribe to an email
list for your beta program. Send each submission a confirmation email thanking
them for their interest and providing further details.

25. Lab 3: Administrative Interface
OBJECTIVE: Build an interface for your marketing team to be able to manage
aspects of your site. Start by adding a page to the administrative interface that
allows a user to see all email addresses that have signed up for your beta program.

26. Lab 4: Product Update Blog
OBJECTIVE: Provide visitors updates about your progress building your
product by publishing a blog post. Blog entries are posted by administrators
using the administrative interface built in the previous lab.
