AWS Lambda + Upstash Redis + Go = 🚀❤️

Serverless compute platforms, like AWS Lambda, offer great flexibility, but their full potential is realized when paired with serverless databases such as Upstash Redis, which meets key requirements like pay-as-you-go pricing, low latency, and a strong developer experience. This article details the implementation of a platform using AWS Lambda and Upstash Redis to create three API endpoints: login, list completed lessons, and mark lessons as complete. The setup includes creating a workspace in Go, configuring local and AWS Lambda server entry points, and implementing the API with middleware for session management. Testing locally and deploying with AWS SAM is covered, along with security considerations for managing Redis credentials. The performance of Upstash Redis is highlighted, with hot invocation times for requests being impressively low, demonstrating the efficiency and scalability of combining AWS Lambda with Upstash Redis in serverless architectures.
