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.
