Publisher's Synopsis
Unlock the potential of serverless computing to simplify application development and optimize scalability. Serverless Computing: Building Applications Without Servers is your definitive guide to understanding serverless architecture and deploying scalable applications using serverless platforms like AWS Lambda. Whether you're building APIs, event-driven workflows, or microservices, this book will provide you with the knowledge and practical skills to design and deploy applications without the need to manage traditional server infrastructure.
Inside this book, you will learn how to:
Understand serverless architecture and how it differs from traditional server-based models, enabling you to design scalable, cost-effective applications.
Use AWS Lambda to run code without provisioning or managing servers, and integrate it with other AWS services like S3, DynamoDB, and API Gateway.
Automate application deployments with CI/CD pipelines, using serverless deployment tools like the Serverless Framework, AWS SAM, and AWS CloudFormation.
Leverage event-driven computing to build apps that automatically scale based on incoming requests, data changes, or time-based triggers.
Implement security and authentication for serverless functions, including access control with IAM roles and best practices for securing Lambda functions.
Optimize serverless performance with cold-start minimization techniques and ensure efficient error handling and logging for seamless debugging.
Whether you're a cloud architect, developer, or DevOps engineer, this book will empower you to create and deploy high-performing, scalable applications without worrying about managing servers.
