He talks about how he overcame challenges he faced resulting from compute and storage demands. Vimal discusses how he ensured cost-efficiency and security by implementing a fully serverless architecture using AWS CloudFront, Lambda authorisers, and WAF, integrating robust domain whitelisting and access control.
