Are you tired of hearing "just use interfaces" without understanding why? This episode cuts through the noise around software abstractions with real-world stories and practical insights.

We'll explore:

• Why the common arguments for interfaces miss their true superpower
• The hidden value of layered architecture beyond "easy rewrites"
• A migration story that saved weeks of development time
• When abstractions become overhead (and how to spot it)
• The decision-making framework that helps you choose the right level of abstraction

In this episode, we will explore the lessons learned after a full year of production experience with Step Functions across multiple teams.

The Wins:

• Built-in retry mechanisms that actually save your bacon
• Concurrent execution patterns that slash processing time
• Idempotency features that prevent duplicate nightmares

The Gotchas:

• The 25K event limit that nobody talks about (and how to work around it)
• Why treating everything as a state can backfire
• Out-of-order execution scenarios that will keep you up at night

The Pain Points:

• Error handling that becomes repetitive fast
• Local development challenges that slow teams down
• When Step Functions make things more complex, not simpler

In this episode, we'll explore how batching can boost throughput and reduce costs in your serverless applications, but also introduce unique challenges around error handling.

You'll Learn:

• The core challenge of partial batch failures and message reprocessing
• How AWS evolved from Kinesis-only solutions to include SQS batch item reporting
• The new ReportBatchItemFailures feature and how it transforms error handling
• Practical strategies for implementing robust batch processing in your Lambda functions
