This talk showcases the custom serverless ticketshop I created for an event that sold out in seconds. 

When your ticketing platform and payment provider can't keep up with the demand for your event, you have a problem. A nice problem to have, but a problem nonetheless. JAMstack/serverless to the rescue! This talk showcases the custom serverless ticketshop I created for an event that sold out in seconds. By connecting serverless staples like Amazon API Gateway, Lambda functions, Cloudflare and Netlify (and a few you may not have heard of, yet) a ticketshop was built to handle thousands of requests per second, selling hundreds of tickets per minute but dealing with zero servers. And zero frameworks. And even zero cookies.

With this talk I would like to demonstrate that even "complex", multi-step e-commerce workflows, like for an event ticketshop, can be built using readily available platforms and services.
