Kotlin for backend using serverless + aws lambda
This document discusses using Kotlin for backend development with AWS Lambda and serverless architecture. Some key advantages of Kotlin include its conciseness, type safety, IDE support, and interoperability with Java. AWS Lambda provides horizontal scaling and allows focusing on code without managing servers. The Serverless framework makes it easy to deploy event-driven functions. Some challenges of AWS Lambda include package size limits and cold start times, while the Serverless framework may have longer initial deploy times for large projects. Overall warm up functions and use additional stacks to address resource limits when using these serverless technologies.

- 24. Cons AWS Lambda -If you don’t want to be tied to AWS - Package size limit of 50MB - Has 300 seconds time-out. Not suitable for long running processes i.e image processing, batch etc - You have no control on how your application scale. - Cold Startup issues. Can be fixed by - having a keep-alive function

- 27. Cons Serverless - Asyour project get bigger, initial deploy could take some time ( Anecdotal evidence )
- 28. Lessons using AWSlambda and serverless Warm up your functions. Lambda functions , specially those running in compiled runtime have a tendency to have a slow start-up time ( cold start). Solutions : 1. Use warmup plugin https://www.npmjs.com/package/serverless-plugin- warmup 2. Use cloudwatch to ping your functions

- #20 Assuming you have JDK and node js set-up. It’s just a matter of installing serverless Running serverless create Configuring credentials Then doing a deploy Install severless Install serverless npm install -g serverless Create function serverless create —-template aws-kotlin-jvm-gradle --path FUNCTION_NAME Configure aws credentials serverless config credentials --provider aws --key YOUR_KEY --secret YOUR_SECRET Deploy ./gradlew deploy
- #21 It would create the boiler plate code for you. Serverless.yml is where you manage your infrastracture An initial handler is created for you inside serverless/handler
