The August 2021 edition of IndyAWS, Indiana’s fastest growing cloud meetup founded in 2017 by Six Feet Up CTO and Amazon Web Services (AWS) Community Hero Calvin Hendryx-Parker, featured an in-depth review on “Load Testing AWS Serverless Architectures with Serverless.”

Speaker Ben Ellerby, VP of Engineering at Theodo and AWS Serverless Hero, discussed his comprehensive guide for ensuring AWS serverless architectures are scalable by:

• clarifying serverless’ definition and intended use cases,
• highlighting “gotchas” for common scalability mistakes,
• addressing Lambda instance concurrences and associated costs, and
• providing best practices for load testing with serverless.
