Nice video. The main problem with AWS tech talks is that there is no difficulty mentioned and when the difficulty is mentioned like in this case it is actually misleading. A-Tech talk titled advanced difficulty shouldn't be explaining what server list and what AWS lambda is.

It was a good talk though
