 * The Lean function
-    * Concise logic
-    * Efficient/single purpose code
-    * ephemeral environment
+    * Concise logic - Use functions to transform, not transport (utilize some of the 
+    integration available from the provider to transport), and make sure you read only
+     what you need
+    * Efficient/single purpose code - avoid conditional/routing logic and break down 
+    into individual functions, avoid "fat"/monolithic functions and control the 
+    dependencies in the function deployment package to reduce the load time for your 
+    function
+    * ephemeral environment - Utilize container start for expensive initializations
 * Eventful Invocations
-    * Succinct payloads
-    * resilient routing
-    * concurrent execution
+    * Succinct payloads - Scrutinize the event as much as possible, and watch for 
+    payload constraints (async - 128K)
+    * resilient routing - Understand retry policies and leverage dead letter queues 
+    (SQS or SNS for replays) and remember retries count as invocations
+    * concurrent execution - lambda thinks of it's scale in terms of concurrency and 
+    its not request based/duration based. Lambda will spin up the number of instances 
+    based on the request. 
 * Coordinated calls
-    * Decoupled via APIs
-    * scale-matched downstream
-    * secured
+    * Decoupled via APIs - best practice to setup your application is to have API's as
+     contracts that ensures separation of concerns
+    * scale-matched downstream - make sure when Lambda is calling downstream 
+    components, you are matching scale configuration to it (by specifying max 
+    concurrency based on downstream services)
+    * secured - Always ask a question, do I need a VPC?
 * Serviceful operations
-    * Automated operations
-    * monitored applications
-    * Innovation mindset
+    * Automated - use automated tools to manage and maintain the stack 
+    * monitored applications - use monitoring services to get holistic view of your
