Steve Faulkner at The Lead Developer New York 2017
summary
Claim: Bustle runs a real production platform on AWS using Lambda and API Gateway with 10–20 million Lambda calls per day, server-side rendering of JS, a JSON API backed by DynamoDB, and build tooling (Shep, Serverless Framework, Sparta, WebPack). Cost drops relative to prior EC2 deployment and latency/scale hold up to ~5,000 requests per second. Ops work continues but is reduced compared to EC2, and the system actually ships and runs in production.
