AWS Lambda demo

Planned

2026 — planned

A focused, production-grade event-driven service on AWS Lambda — the AWS deep-dive project.

An event-driven serverless service on AWS Lambda — function design, infrastructure as code, and observability — built as a focused production-grade example rather than a toy.

Context

A deliberate next step from a stack heavy on Azure: a production-grade Lambda example, end-to-end, that I can talk through honestly in interviews and show working in real life.

What I built

  • Function design with clear boundaries and idempotency.
  • Full infrastructure as code: IAM, Lambda, event source, observability — managed through Terraform alongside the portfolio site.
  • Observability from day one: structured logging, metrics and traces; explicit error handling rather than swallow-and-pray.

Outcome

Planned for build-out after the portfolio site stabilizes. The architecture and the ADRs will go up before the code does — same pattern as this site.

Architecture

Single-purpose Lambda function triggered by an AWS-native event source (the final choice will appear in an ADR when built). TypeScript runtime, Terraform-managed.
