Overview

DESCRIPTION Serverless architecture is about having more time to focus on code, and moving quickly. In these new architectures, traditional back-end servers are replaced with cloud functions acting as discrete singlepurpose services. With serverless compute technologies like AWS Lambda, developers can build entirely serverless platforms at scale. Serverless Architectures on AWS teaches how to build, secure and manage serverless architectures that can power the most demanding web and mobile apps. This book has many ready-made and real-world examples, code snippets, diagrams, and descriptions of architectures that can be readily applied. It describes a traditional application and its back end concerns and then shows how to solve these same problems with a serverless approach. By the end, readers will be able to reason about serverless systems and be able to compose their own systems by applying these ideas and examples. KEY FEATURES • Up-to-date with the most current platform trends • Real-world examples, code snippets, and diagrams • Learn to solve back end concerns with a serverless approach AUDIENCE This book is for all software developers interested in back end technologies. Experience with JavaScript (node.js) and AWS is useful but not required. ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY Lambda is a compute service that executes code written in JavaScript (node.js), Python, or Java on AWS infrastructure. Source code is deployed to an isolated container that has its own allocation of memory, disk space, and CPU. Serverless architectures herald a new way of building scalable, powerful, cost-effective, and high-performing back end systems. They encourage a new way of creating applications through the use of a stateless compute service to execute code.
