01:10pm-02:00pm ET - AWS Lambda Best Practices: Resilient Input Validation
Ran Isenberg, Cloud System Architect at CyberArk Software Ltd.

Developers tend to focus on implementing the AWS Lambda handler business logic and pay less attention to the validity of the 'event' input parameter. Their algorithm is simple: extract the business logic payload from the input and process it. Easy. However, this overly optimistic behavior can lead to crashes, undefined behaviors, bugs, and even security issues.

Join this session to learn the importance of input validation in the cloud, the pitfalls it prevents, and how to overcome the inherent challenges and complexity you encounter when developing AWS Lambda functions.
You will learn how to process your event input in a safe and resilient manner so you can focus on the things that matter the most, your business logic.
Ran will also demonstrate how to start a serverless application with two mouse clicks using his open source AWS Lambda Handler Cookbook (Python).

Bio: AWS Community Builder, a Cloud System Architect at CyberArk, blogger, and public speaker.
I design and build Serverless services on AWS for a living.
At CyberArk, I define best practices and quality standards for working in the cloud, train new teams to work in the cloud and develop SDKs that are used across the organization.
I maintain a blog (RanTheBuilder.cloud) where I share my knowledge and experience in the Serverless world.
