SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The AWS Serverless skill provides a comprehensive, battle-tested guide to designing, deploying, debugging, and optimizing serverless applications on AWS using Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, EventBridge, and SAM/CDK, empowering teams to ship robust, scalable apps with confidence.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided patterns for Lambda-centric architectures (REST/HTTP, event-driven, orchestration, real-time streaming)
  • Practical deployment and operational practices (SAM/CDK, CI/CD, observability, security hardening, testing)
  • Production-readiness guidance (concurrency, retries, DLQs, idempotency, error handling)

Quick Start

Install a serverless template and run a guided plan for a new AWS API backend.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build and deploy AWS serverless applications using SAM or CDK?

To build and deploy AWS serverless applications, use SAM or CDK workflows to define infrastructure as code, package Lambda functions, and execute safe automated deployments with rollback and observability integrated.

What are the best practices for AWS Lambda concurrency, retries, and idempotency?

Best practices for AWS Lambda concurrency, retries, and idempotency include setting reserved concurrency limits, configuring dead-letter queues for failed events, and implementing idempotency patterns to safely handle duplicate retries.

How do I design an event-driven architecture with EventBridge and Step Functions?

Designing event-driven architecture with EventBridge and Step Functions involves routing decoupled events through EventBridge buses and orchestrating multi-step Lambda workflows using Step Functions state machines for reliable processing.

Why does my AWS API Gateway backend need security hardening and observability?

Your AWS API Gateway backend needs security hardening and observability to prevent unauthorized access, monitor execution metrics, trace distributed requests, and maintain production readiness for your serverless APIs.

Does this guide cover testing strategies and response streaming for Lambda?

Yes, this guide covers testing strategies for serverless workflows and safe response streaming implementations for Lambda, ensuring robust validation and real-time data delivery for production-ready applications.

What's the best way to handle error handling and DLQs in serverless applications?

The best way to handle errors and DLQs in serverless applications is configuring dead-letter queues on SQS and SNS, implementing retry logic with exponential backoff, and routing failed Lambda events for troubleshooting.
