Before an organization moves to function as a service, it’s important to understand how it works, its benefits and challenges, its effect on scalability, and why cloud-native observability is essential for attaining peak performance. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) handles compute, storage, and network resources. What is FaaS?

The virtualization and networking platform could be datacenter based, with something like VMware, or cloud based using one of the cloud providers such as AWS EC2. Above that there’s a deployment platform such as Kubernetes or AWS Lambda. Netflix made many contributions to open source projects by it’s cloud platform team.

It’s funny to think that AWS Lambda was announced at re:Invent only 3 years ago?—?the the industry and Lambda platform both have moved forward a long way since. This year’s re:Invent saw a lot of incremental improvements for Lambda and its related services. We saw some big new products and features from Lambda’s AWS neighbors.

As I have talked about before, one of the reasons why we built Amazon DynamoDB was that Amazon was pushing the limits of what was a leading commercial database at the time and we were unable to sustain the availability, scalability, and performance needs that our growing Amazon.com business demanded. The opposite is true.
