## Description

Witness how serverless transforms high-traffic challenges into seamless, cost-effective solutions at Amazon.com. We debunk myths about serverless and dive deep into how IMDB serves 800.000 requests an hour with AWS Lambda.
Amazon.com launched in 1995 with a modest architecture and a grand vision to be Earth’s most customer-centric company. Learn how Amazon.com got big fast, and see their evolution from a monolithic architecture to a massively scalable system based on service-oriented architecture and microservices. We will dive deep into the architecture of IMDb and AWS Lambda scales to serve workloads at Amazon.com scale.
