๐ฅ Itโs finally happening
Episode 1 of Will It Scale or Break? drops next week!
Weโre kicking off the series with a basic setup: API Gateway + Lambda facing a traffic surge.
Hereโs why we chose this setup for Episode 1:
We used to dread API Gateway + Lambda.
The first time we worked with it, the project had fast-moving requirements and dozens of endpoints. Lambda felt chaotic.
But we were using it wrong.
Turns out, this stack is amazing when used right:
โ
Lightweight APIs without managing servers
โ
Perfect for MVPs and quick iterations
โ
Pay-per-call scheme and rate limiting
โ
Tight integrations with DynamoDB, S3, and SQS
โ
Webhook-ready (Stripe, Segment, etc.)
So now weโre putting it to the test โ not in theory, but in a simulated real-world scenario.
The dashboardโs ready. The metrics are live.
Will it scaleโฆ or break?
Find out next week in Episode 1.
