3 AWS LAMBDA COMPUTE SERVICE EVENT DRIVEN Run code without thinking about servers Code only runs when it needs to run

4 AWS LAMBDA: BENFITS SERVERLESS EVENT-DRIVEN SCALE SUBSECOND BILLING $

5 AWS LAMBDA: HOW IT WORKS BRING YOUR OWN CODE COMPUTE POWER LEVELS FLEXIBLE INVOCATION PATHS GRANULAR PERMISSIONS CONTROL

6 MULTIPLE WAYS TO PUT LAMBDA TO WORK Amazon Echo skills Amazon S3 triggers Amazon SWF tasks Customized notifications with Amazon SNS Amazon Cognito triggers and the list will continue to grow! Microservices with API Gateway Amazon Dynamo DB triggers Amazon Kinesis processors AWS CloudFormation custom resources

7 BACK-END WISHLIST What it does How it behaves User administration Content storage Push notifications Analyze user behavior Custom app logic Cost follows usage Minimal undifferentiated heavy lifting Iterative development Reduced time to market Instant scale Reliable and secure

8 Store and Deliver media Store DLC and Deliver Content Quickly Synchronize data Sync user preferences across devices Authorize access Securely access cloud resources Authenticate users Manage users and identity providers

9 Send Real Time Events Create Live Dashboards to track user events in real time Store shared data Store and query fast NoSQL data across users and devices Send Push Notifications Bring users back to your app by sending messages reliably Analyze User Behavior Track active users, engagement and stats

10 BACK-END LAYERS 1 Create profile, upload content, and track usage App-centric You 2 Track player progress and friends Activity-centric What you do 3 Match and notify users User base-centric Them & me

11 1 Create a profile, upload content, and track usage

12 Your mobile game Integrated SDK AWS Mobile SDK (ios, Android, Unity, Xamarin) Mobile-optimized connectors Lambda Cognito SQS Client SNS Mobile Push Kinesis Recorder DynamoDB Mapper S3 Transfer Manager Pinpoint Campaigns Core building block services Compute Storage Networking Analytics Databases AWS global infrastructure (regions, Availability Zones, edge locations)

13 SECURITY MODEL FOR API CALLS AWS Security Token Service IAM Permissions 1. Request token 2. Receive temporary credentials 4. Make API request against AWS service API 3. Sign API request with temporary token Mobile client AWS Service APIs

14 AUTHENTICATE YOUR PLAYER: AMAZON COGNITO Generate temporary credentials and enforce rotation to limit credential lifetime Authenticate user through third-party authentication provider Unique users across multiple devices and identity providers Allows anonymous user access Enables security best practices through IAM roles

15 USE COGNITO FOR AUTHENTICATION ON IOS //Create and configure Cognito credentials provider AWSCognitoCredentialsProvider *credentialsp = [AWSCognitoCredentialsProvider credentialswithregiontype:awsregionuseast1 accountid:@" identitypoolid:@ us-east-1:beeeeeef-beef-beef-beef-beef unauthrolearn:@"arn:aws:iam:: :role/unauth authrolearn:@"arn:aws:iam:: :role/auth"]; //Set Cognito as default credentials provider for all AWS service calls AWSServiceConfiguration *configuration = [AWSServiceConfiguration configurationwithregion:awsregionuseast1 credentialsprovider:credentialsp]; [AWSServiceManager defaultservicemanager].defaultserviceconfiguration = configuration;

16 CREATE YOUR PLAYER PROFILE: COGNITO SYNC Create your app profile and save it locally in the Cognito data store Cognito will synchronize the data sets across all your user s devices Cognito data sets are key/value pairs AWSCognito *syncclient = [AWSCognito defaultcognito]; AWSCognitoDataset *subs = [syncclient openorcreatedataset:@ UserProfile"]; [dataset setstring: Ozzy" forkey:@ name"]; [dataset setstring: " forkey:@ hscore"]; [dataset synchronize];

17 UPLOAD USER GENERATED CONTENT (UGC): AMAZON S3 Amazon S3 to store and share UGC directly from the mobile device S3 Transfer Utility provides: Ability to continue transferring data in the background when your app is not running Ability to upload binary data instead of having to first save it as a file on the device Amazon S3

18 S3 TRANSFER UTILITY: IOS CODE NSData *datatoupload = // The data to upload AWSS3TransferUtility *transferutility = [AWSS3TransferUtility defaults3transferutility]; [[transferutility uploaddata:datatoupload bucket:@"yourbucketname" key:@"yourobjectkeyname" contenttype:@"text/plain" expression:expression completionhander:completionhandler] continuewithblock:^id(awstask *task) { if (task.result) { AWSS3TransferUtilityUploadTask *uploadtask = task.result; // Do something with uploadtask } }

19 AMAZON PINPOINT: TRACK APP USAGE & ENGAGE PLAYERS Allows you to collect, visualize, and understand your mobile app usage Scales seamlessly to billions of events per day You retain full control and ownership of the data Define segmentation criteria based on usage, device and custom attributes like game progress Target your audience with custom push notifications for your campaigns Amazon Pinpoint

21 BACK-END LAYERS 1 Create profile, upload content, and track usage App-centric You 2 Track player progress and friends Activity-centric What you do 3 Match and notify users User base-centric Them & me

22 2 Track player progress and friends

23 HOW TO COLLECT PROGRESS AND FRIENDS? Mobile Back-end logic Database

24 PROGRESS TRACKER AND INTEREST MICROSERVICE Microservice Amazon API Gateway /progress /friends Amazon Lambda reportprogress() getprogress() addfriend() listfriends() Amazon DynamoDB progress-table friends-table

25 AMAZON API GATEWAY Fully managed and scalable RESTful API gateway service Powered through our content delivery network via our over 70 global edge locations Provides DDoS protection and throttling capabilities Multiple API stages which you define (e.g. dev, test, prod) AWS Lambda Amazon EC2 Amazon API Gateway AWS API On-prem server

26 WHEN TO CHOOSE API GATEWAY VS. DIRECT SDK? Amazon API Gateway adds an additional layer between your mobile users and your logic and data stores in order to: Allow back-end logic to be interchanged without mobile app code modifications Ability to throttle individual users or requests Protect against DDoS attacks including counterfeit requests (Layer 7) and SYN floods (Layer 3) Provide a caching layer for your calls

27 BACK-END LAYERS 1 Create profile, upload content, and track usage App-centric You 2 Track player progress and interests Activity-centric What you do 3 Match and notify users User base-centric Them & me

28 3 Match and notify players

29 AWS LAMBDA: EVENT-DRIVEN COMPUTE DynamoDB streams S3 event notification Cognito Sync trigger

30 FIND A FRIEND MATCH BASED ON PROGRESS addfriend() friends-table friends-table /progress findmatch() reportprogress() progress-table REST API /friends Invoke AWS SDK call DynamoDB Streams AWS SDK call Profile (friends setting)

31 DYNAMODB STREAMS PROCESSOR: findmatch() exports.handler = function(event, context) { // Process all the records in the stream event.records.foreach(function(record) { var newprogress = record.dynamodb.newimage.progress.s; }; if (findfriendmatch(newprogress)) { // Found match! } }); context.succeed();

32 We found a match. Now what?

33 AMAZON SNS FOR MOBILE PUSH NOTIFICATIONS Amazon SNS is a fully managed, cross-platform mobile push intermediary service Fully scalable to millions of devices Allows you to create topics (e.g. per progress, interest, usage pattern, etc.) Amazon SNS Apple APNS Google GCM Baidu CP Amazon ADM ios Apple iphones and ipads Android phones and tablets Android phones and tablets in China Kindle Fire devices Windows WNS and MPNS Windows phone devices

34 FOUND A MATCH: NOTIFY USER! interest-table findmatch() Amazon SNS progress-table DynamoDB Streams AWS SDK call

35 BACK-END LAYERS 1 Create profile, upload content, and track usage App-centric You 2 Track player progress and interests Activity-centric What you do 3 Match and notify users User base-centric Them & me

36 FINAL ARCHITECTURE Amazon Cognito Amazon SNS Mobile SDK Mobile App Amazon API Gateway AWS Lambda Amazon DynamoDB Amazon Pinpoint Amazon S3
