Amazon Lambda is shaking-up Java server-side development. Now you can write services in the cloud without having to think about app servers or containers. This is revolutionary. This session will cover Amazon Lambda & some of the other services that will reduce the about of code & infrastructure you have to write & maintain. With Amazon Lambda you can write Java code & expose it as web services in the cloud or connect it to Amazons high availability JMS service. Amazons mantra is that everything in the cloud should be exposed as an API & well see how Lambda ties into Amazons databases, VPCs, etc. I will also touch on how & where Java EE fits into this puzzle & whether you still need a container. This session provides an overview of the services available on AWS & best practices for Java developers.
