061 Serverless Performance, Monitoring and Best Practices from Fender

Serverless comes with its own set of best practices, quirks and benefits when it comes to monitoring and performance engineering.In this episode we have Michael Garski, Director of Platform Engineering at Fender Musical Instruments ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/mgarski/ ), giving us a technical deep dive into lessons learned and best practices they learned when re-platforming their architecture to AWS Lambda. We get to learn about optimizing Cold Starts, Re-Using HTTP Connections, Leveraging API Gateway Caching and finding the sweet spot for CPU & Memory settings to optimize price/performance of AWS Lambda executions.For more details check out Michael’s slides on Innovating Through React Native Mobile Apps.
