Leverage Quarkus to Build a Lambda Function & Single-Table Design for DynamoDB

Leverage Quarkus to Build a Lambda Function
Serverless functions require your code to start in milliseconds. With traditional JVM applications that is nearly impossible to accomplish. For this reason, Java developers are often forced to write Lambda functions using scripting languages such as Python or TypeScript. Using Quarkus native builds, Java developers can continue to use Java for such functions. Quarkus and GraalVM puts Java in the same competing space as most scripting languages in terms of fast startup time and low memory footprint. In this session we will go over a hands-on demo for using the Quarkus Lambda REST extension to showcase how easy it is to deploy a Lambda exposed using API Gateway in AWS.

Lessons learned from Single-table design for DynamoDB
Quick demo on how I followed the single-table design for DynamoDB and the big price to pay upfront for the scalability & performance DynamoDB offers. Hint: No SQL Joins available!
