AWS Lambda Functions: Return Response and Continue Executing
A how-to guide using the Node.js Lambda runtime.
My single largest complaint with the entire AWS Serverless ecosystem was that running a multi-region API Gateway was impossible to do. Well, impossible without servers. You could do it if you were willing to run a few nginx reverse proxies and some load balancers for a production quality setup.
This time is over. With the new launch of Regional API Endpoints for API Gateway, the nightmare is over. You can now do Active/Active or Active/Passive failover with ease.
