Microservices in action: How to actually build

themAndrzej Jarzyna, the API guy from 3scale ;)

APIs on Lambda and API Gateway

•Lambda Functions - microservices written in JS/Python/Java hosted on Amazon Cloud

•API Gateway - a ‘front door’ to access your APIs endpoints

API Meetup BCN, Nov. 2015 Andrzej Jarzyna

Features of Lambda• functions ran on a ‘serverless’ cloud

• have access to other AWS services, http endpoints and in-app events

• runs only when triggered (stateless)

• pay only when called


Lambda costs


Amazon API Gateway


JAWS• JAWS - The Serverless Application Framework

• manages Lambda and API Gateway project structure

• takes care of Roles and Policies management for you

• automated provisioning of new stages and regions


Extend API Gateway Capabilities

• Through Lambda you can integrate with additional services to extend the API Gateway capability

• Add authentication layer per application

• Use 3scale API management platform


Integration with 3scale


now available with JAWS


Summary• Lambda is great for building serverless micro-services

• Amazon API Gateway creates a layer for routing to Lambda and adds a security layer

• JAWS makes it easy to manage
