Serverless Microservices
Adam Hunter, Ben Vandgrift at Clojure/conj 2015
With the release of AWS' API Gateway and the Lambda service, it is now possible to write scalable microservices without an application server--rather than being charged by the server-hour, you can create a server process that is charged by the processor-millisecond. Adam and Ben will walk through the process (and trade-offs) of defining and deploying an API service backed by Clojure components deployed into Lambda. Initial specification, authentication via an API token and SSO system, retrieval of data, and transformation of that data using the API Service will be covered, along with logging, exception handling, and monitoring.
