Resiliency Considerations for Serverless Applications

In the previous chapter, we explored architectural patterns and best practices for building fault-tolerant and highly available applications on AWS. We discussed the importance of embracing failures and designing systems that can withstand and recover from component failures. While these principles apply to all types of applications, serverless computing introduces unique considerations and challenges when it comes to building resilient systems.

Serverless computing, with its event-driven, pay-per-use model, offers a compelling value proposition for building scalable and cost-effective applications. Serverless requires a different mindset and approach to achieving fault tolerance and resilience. In this chapter, we will delve into the considerations and strategies for building resilient serverless applications on AWS. We will explore techniques for fault tolerance, idempotent and asynchronous function design, and leveraging managed...
