How Request Pricing Affects Security
Understand how request-based pricing shapes security in serverless applications. Learn why breaking tasks into focused AWS Lambda functions improves access control and reduces risk. Explore how dynamic infrastructure simplifies patch management and limits security vulnerabilities without manual intervention.
We'll cover the following...
Request-based pricing also has a big impact on application security. Modern server-side applications usually run some kind of a gatekeeper process to control user requests and dispatch work. That process needs access to all the back-end services and all the databases and all the resources. It’s possible to secure such processes tightly, but it’s a big hassle.
