  3. No Servers to Manage Pay only for what is used

    Reduced Security Risk & Cost
  4. What traditional architectures will cost you per API Cluster 1

    EC2 t2.xlarge $0.185 / Hour 2 EC2 t2.xlarge $0.370 / Hour High Availability $135.05 $ 270.10
  5. 96K API calls worth 91 Hours of actual runtime for

    71 CF Stacks in DEV environment for FREE
  6. We drove the cost of dev environments $270.10 per cluster

    x 71 $ 19,710 $ 0 Lambda based architecture Traditional Architecture
  7. Reliable & Repeatable Builds Reduced Human Errors Maintainability Benefits of

    Automation in API Development Protects businesses from developer turnover
  8. AWS SAM ✓ Definition of Serverless Resources ✓ Local testing

    of functions ✓ Shorthand Syntax for Cloud Formation
  9. Cloud Formation ✓ Definition of AWS resources ✓ Grouping of

    AWS resources ✓ Base syntax used by SAM and other frameworks
  10. Automation Sample Code ▪ Shell Scripts ▪ Install Dependencies ▪

    Release API + Tables ▪ Decommissioning ▪ SAM Template ▪ API Gateway ▪ API Key ▪ Usage Plan ▪ Lambda APIs ▪ Cloud Formation ▪ Dynamo DBs
