In this lab, you will learn how to optimize and troubleshoot a serverless application leveraging AWS Lambda and DynamoDB. You will deploy a sample application, instrument it to monitor observability metrics, and implement strategies to enhance its performance. This experience will give you hands-on practice with AWS services that are crucial for building robust serverless applications, focusing on observability and performance optimization.
Your company, Serverless Innovations, has developed a messaging platform that runs on AWS. Recent user feedback suggests occasional latency, especially during peak usage. As a developer tasked with optimizing this serverless application, you need to ensure it operates efficiently under heavy loads. Your main goals are to identify performance bottlenecks and implement observability features to monitor application health.
