Migrating an existing service to serverless
summary
Migrates Rovio’s ToonsTV VOD platform onto AWS serverless, proving the claim with five proofs of concept that replace an in‑house auth and NoSQL stack, build an automated image/video resizing pipeline, and rearchitect for edge caching to cut backend calls. Uses Lambda + S3 + CloudFormation (Serverless Framework, infra‑as‑code), trains the team via workshops and an external expert, runs CI/CD across three AWS accounts, and finds testing, monitoring and debugging are the hardest ongoing problems.
