AWS Lamda has, in many ways, replaced conventional servers. The databases they work with, though, haven't changed all that much. This talk covers best practices, tips, and tricks for getting your Lambdas to play nicely with your databse.

Topics Covered

• Serverless Framework
• AWS Secrets Manager
• Connecting to the Database
• Preventing Choking the DB
• AWS Database Proxy
• Monitoring (CloudWatch + Epsagon)
