Architecture
Why serverless wins
Every decision in this stack is intentional — zero waste, maximum throughput, pay-per-invocation economics.
Sub-50ms Edge Latency
API Gateway + CloudFront routes to the nearest AWS edge — users get responses before they blink.
Zero-Cost Serverless Core
Lambda's 1M free invocations/month means your shortener runs free at moderate scale. No EC2, no RDS, no idle spend.
On-Demand DynamoDB Scaling
DynamoDB On-Demand absorbs any traffic spike with single-digit millisecond reads. No capacity planning, ever.
IAM-First Security Model
Fine-grained IAM roles scope Lambda to exactly the DynamoDB table it needs — least privilege by default.
Infrastructure as Code
The entire stack is SAM/CloudFormation — deploy to any region in under 60 seconds with a single sam deploy.
Global HTTPS Endpoints
Every route served over TLS 1.3 via API Gateway's managed certs. No rotation headaches, ever.
