Accelerating with Serverless!
Journey to serverless
As you browse through LEGO.com, please remind yourself that the backend business services of LEGO.com run as serverless services on AWS cloud. Of course, there are SaaS platforms that these serverless microservices interact with and the frontend layer that runs on Fargate consumes these services and so on so forth. But the focus for us here in about those backend serverless services.
To set the context to what we are going to discuss here, LEGO.com was migrated to serverless from a typical legacy monolith ecommerce platform in July 2019. It was a fast paced 10 months journey and serverless made this migration a success. The implementation included many microservices and over 100 lambda functions in addition to many other AWS services.

You may have been through a similar journey or you may have come across with similar use cases sharing similar experience. For many such endeavours, especially for those that turn out to be a successful venture, achieving such milestones are always challenging and at the same time rewarding as well. This is all excellent and exciting!
