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

Deploy AWS serverless applications using SAM or CDK by leveraging code-centric templates that provision Lambda, API Gateway, and Step Functions. This approach automates reliable deployment patterns and enforces production readiness best practices.

What's the best way to troubleshoot Lambda and API Gateway issues?▼

Troubleshoot Lambda and API Gateway issues by applying observability patterns and production readiness checklists. This approach targets debugging serverless architectures directly, identifying security perimeters, and resolving real-world workload failures.

How do I secure AWS serverless architectures with Lambda and EventBridge?▼

Secure AWS serverless architectures by enforcing security perimeters across Lambda, API Gateway, and EventBridge workflows. This involves implementing security hardening patterns and production readiness checklists for reliable deployment.

Can I use Step Functions and EventBridge for serverless orchestration on AWS?▼

Yes, you can use Step Functions and EventBridge for serverless orchestration on AWS. The Skill provides guidance on designing architectures that integrate these services with Lambda and API Gateway using SAM or CDK workflows.

What are common limitations when building scalable serverless apps on AWS?▼

Limitations when building scalable serverless apps on AWS often stem from misconfigured observability or security perimeters. Address these constraints by applying production readiness checklists and reliable deployment patterns across your SAM or CDK workflows.
