- 11. hidden complexities and dependencies low utilisation to leave room for traffic spikes EC2 scaling is slow, so scale earlier lots of cost for unused resources up to 30 mins for deployment deployment required downtime
- 12. - Dan North “lead time to someone saying thank you is the only reputation metric that matters.”
- 14. “what would good look like for us?”
- 15. be small be fast have zero downtime have no lock-step DEPLOYMENTS SHOULD...
- 16. FEATURES SHOULD... be deployable independently be loosely-coupled
- 17. WE WANT TO... minimise cost for unused resources minimise ops effort reduce tech mess deliver visible improvements faster
- 18. nov, 2016
- 19. 170 Lambda functions in prod 1.2 GB deployment packages in prod 95% cost saving vs EC2 15x no. of prod releases per month
- 20. time is a good fit
- 21. 1st function in prod! time is a good fit
- 22. ? time is a good fit 1st function in prod!
- 24. Practices ToolsPrinciples what is good? how to make it good? with what?

- 62. Level of Testing 1.Unit do our objects do the right thing? are they easy to work with?
- 64. Level of Testing 1.Unit 2.Integration does our code work against code we can’t change?
- 65. handler
- 66. handler test by invoking the handler
- 67. Level of Testing 1.Unit 2.Integration 3.Acceptance does the whole system work?
- 69. “…We find that tests that mock external libraries often need to be complex to get the code into the right state for the functionality we need to exercise. The mess in such tests is telling us that the design isn’t right but, instead of fixing the problem by improving the code, we have to carry the extra complexity in both code and test…” Don’t Mock Types You Can’t Change
- 70. “…The second risk is that we have to be sure that the behaviour we stub or mock matches what the external library will actually do… Even if we get it right once, we have to make sure that the tests remain valid when we upgrade the libraries…” Don’t Mock Types You Can’t Change
- 71. Don’t Mock Types You Can’t Change Services
- 72. Paul Johnston The serverless approach to testing is different and may actually be easier. http://bit.ly/2t5viwK
- 74. LambdaAPI Gateway DynamoDB Unit Tests
- 75. LambdaAPI Gateway DynamoDB Unit Tests Mock/Stub
- 76. is our request correct? is the request mapping set up correctly?is the API resources configured correctly? are we assuming the correct schema? LambdaAPI Gateway DynamoDB is Lambda proxy configured correctly? is IAM policy set up correctly? is the table created? what unit tests will not tell you…
- 78. most Lambda functions are simple have single purpose, the risk of shipping broken software has largely shifted to how they integrate with external services observation
- 80. But it slows down my feedback loop… IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU!
- 81. …if a service can’t provide you with a relatively easy way to test the interface in reality, then you should consider using another one. Paul Johnston
- 82. “…Wherever possible, an acceptance test should exercise the system end-to- end without directly calling its internal code. An end-to-end test interacts with the system only from the outside: through its interface…” Testing End-to-End

- 86. integration tests exercise system’s Integration with its external dependencies my code
- 87. acceptance tests exercise system End-to-End from the outside my code
- 88. integration tests differ from acceptance tests only in HOW the Lambda functions are invoked observation
- 92. CI + CD PIPELINE
- 93. “the earlier you consider CI + CD, the more time you save in the long run” - Yan
- 94. “…We prefer to have the end-to-end tests exercise both the system and the process by which it’s built and deployed… This sounds like a lot of effort (it is), but has to be done anyway repeatedly during the software’s lifetime…” Testing End-to-End
- 95. “deployment scripts that only live on the CI box is a disaster waiting to happen” - Yan
- 96. Jenkins build config deploys and tests unit + integration tests deploy acceptance tests
- 97. build.sh allows repeatable builds on both local & CI

- 155. Yan Environment variables make it hard to share configurations across functions.

- 207. should function fail on partial/any failures?
- 208. SNS Kinesis SQS after 3 attempts share processing logic events are processed in chronological order failed events are retried out of sequence
- 212. “Each shard can support up to 5 transactions per second for reads, up to a maximum total data read rate of 2 MB per second.” http://docs.aws.amazon.com/streams/latest/dev/service-sizes-and-limits.html
- 213. “If your stream has 100 active shards, there will be 100 Lambda functions running concurrently. Then, each Lambda function processes events on a shard in the order that they arrive.” http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/concurrent-executions.html
- 214. when no. of processors goes up…
- 215. ReadProvisionedThroughputExceeded can have too many Kinesis read operations…

- 219. clever, but costly
- 220. for subsystems that don’t have to be realtime, or are task- based (ie. order doesn’t matter), consider other triggers such as S3 or SNS.me
