API Gateway and Lambda Throttling with Terraform: A Comprehensive Guide

Proper throttling of AWS API Gateway and Lambda functions can help manage performance and control costs of application in AWS cloud environments. Terraform can be used to implement Lambda and API Gateway throttling along with monitoring and usage plan management.
Multi-environment setups can pose challenges in managing environment-specific configurations for API Gateway and Lambda functions, rendering it essential to set up environment-specific throttling limits using Terraform.
AWS Lambda functions can easily encounter unplanned spikes in traffic, resulting in performance degradation and increased costs, which can be controlled by setting concurrency limits using reserved_concurrent_limit for the Lambda function instance.
Comprehensive monitoring is integral for ensuring effective throttling of Lambda functions. CloudWatch alarms should be configured to proactively track throttling metrics.
API Gateway throttling can help prevent overload of backend services during peak traffic times. API Gateway throttling limits can be set in Terraform and deployed to different environments.
AWS Budgets and Cost Anomaly Detection can be set up to monitor application performance in AWS environments along with budget alerts to prevent unexpected costs.
Load testing, scenario testing, and monitoring validation are essential for checking the efficacy of throttling policies before deployment.
Documenting and regularly reviewing throttling policies, adhering to compliance frameworks, and assessing system optimization opportunities should be done regularly in production environments.
Additional techniques can be considered in refining throttling strategies, such as time-based throttling adjustments, request validation, and DLQs to avoid loss of throttled requests.
Effective throttling should be seen as a dynamic system that requires regular review to adjust throttling policies based on usage patterns and real-world conditions. It is integral to strike the right balance between performance and protection to avoid over-throttling or request limiting.

How to easily connect any laptop to a TV

Most modern computers can be connected to a TV for a bigger display and normal laptop functions. The most reliable method is using an HDMI cable, but wireless connectivity is also an option. To connect via HDMI, locate your laptop's HDMI port, connect it to the TV's HDMI input, and change the TV's source, if necessary. For wireless connections, the process varies depending on the type of device and WiFi connectivity. Apple users can use AirPlay to connect to their TV box, while Windows users need screen mirroring and a compatible smart TV. The best way to get video and audio is via HDMI on soundbars or AV receivers. Troubleshooting issues may involve updating the computer's operating system or checking device compatibility.
When connecting via HDMI, locate your laptop's HDMI port, plug in an HDMI cable and connect it to the TV. Your TV may automatically switch to the new input, however, you may need to switch the TV's source manually. The process for wireless connectivity, such as screen mirroring, varies depending on the type of device and Wi-Fi connectivity. If you have an Apple computer and Apple TV box follow a few simple steps to establish screen mirroring. Windows users need to ensure they have screen mirroring and a compatible smart TV to use wireless connectivity. Troubleshooting any video and sound issues include updating the laptop's operating system, checking device compatibility and disabling the TV's HDMI-CEC controls.
Connecting a laptop to a soundbar or AV receiver is best via HDMI, while USB ports generally used for external hard drives and USB flash drives do not support video, only audio. Wireless connectivity requires support from the soundbar or AV receiver. Incompatibility issues may affect the connection requiring the purchase of a new TV.
