Harnessing the power of serverless architecture with AWS Lambda and Tyk

The blog post by Jennifer Craig discusses the advantages of combining AWS Lambda with Tyk's API management to leverage the benefits of serverless architecture. Serverless architecture eliminates the need for developers to manage server infrastructure, allowing them to focus on coding, which enhances scalability, flexibility, and reduces time to market. The post details a methodology for invoking AWS Lambda functions directly from Tyk’s API gateway, using a custom Go plugin, Docker, and specific system prerequisites. The process involves setting up the necessary environment, cloning a repository, and importing API definitions to enable seamless integration and execution of Lambda functions via Tyk. The article emphasizes the potential of serverless architecture in offering superior scalability and faster development cycles, encouraging readers to explore Tyk and AWS Lambda for their API management and deployment needs.
