Building Scalable Systems with AWS SAM

Introduction

Serverless architecture has changed the way we build and deploy applications. In this post, I want to share why I’m doubling down on AWS SAM (Serverless Application Model) and how it simplifies infrastructure management compare to traditional Kubernetes setups.

Why Serverless?

1. Cost Efficiency: Pay only for what you use.
2. Scalability: Automatically handles traffic spikes.
3. Maintenance: No servers to patch or manage.

SEO Matters

This post is optimized for SEO! Notice the seoTitle and description in the frontmatter?

• Title: Building Scalable Systems with AWS SAM (What users see on the page)
• SEO Title: How to Build Scalable Systems using AWS SAM & Lambda (What Google sees)

This allows me to target specific keywords like “Lambda” and “Scalable Systems” without cluttering the main UI.
