serverless-load-testing VS serverless-patterns

Currently in my toolbox, I have the ability to make a query to OpenAI models, secure any API in my AWS account with an API key (even though it's best practice to include another form of auth), or run a load test with a simple trigger.

With load testing, getting a horizontally scaled platform is critical. You need to pump a high volume of data into your application and that is exactly what we can do with this serverless load testing app.

You may be aware of Serverlessland, a treasure trove of developer-centered content and examples of serverless applications. I decided to take one of their more popular (and AI-focused) tutorials, titled “Use GenAI capabilities to build a chatbot”, and recreate it with App Composer and our trusty AI assistant. Here we go!

Serverless Land is a place with a ton of serverless resources.

If you're looking for examples, you can check out my GitHub, it's full of SAM templates that cover a wide range of use cases. Serverless Land is another fantastic resource full of reference material. If you are trying to build something but can't quite figure it out in SAM, remember - it's all just CloudFormation. Browse the docs to see how to define that stubborn resource.

I will use dynamodb-streams-to-eventbridge-outbox-pattern by David Boyne as an example.

This is definitely not the most common pattern. As an independent data point, you can look at the AWS-maintained serverlessland.com, where ALL the patterns that include SNS and SQS are going SNS > SQS.

For all my associated exams I used Mareek/TD, labs and for SAP also went through SAP course of A. Cantrill, also tools like https://serverlessland.com/ and aws event talks on YouTube can help you understand concepts.

For serverless, serverlessland.com

If you’re using AWS serverlessland is maintained by AWS and has great resources
