Hands-On Serverless Computing

Serverless applications and architectures are gaining momentum and are increasingly being used by companies of all sizes to solve the problems of developers. This book teaches you how to quickly and securely develop applications without the hassle of configuring and maintaining infrastructure on three public cloud platforms.

---

Deploy functions efficiently using different cloud-based serverless offerings

Key Features

Understand the concept of Function-as-a-Service
Implement Serverless solutions using AWS Lambda, Azure Functions and Google Cloud Functions
Practical approach towards choosing the best tool for your serverless environment

Book DescriptionServerless applications and architectures are gaining momentum and are increasingly being used by companies of all sizes. Serverless software takes care of many problems that developers face when running systems and servers, such as fault tolerance, centralized logging, horizontal scalability, and deployments.

You will learn how to harness serverless technology to rapidly reduce production time and minimize your costs, while still having the freedom to customize your code, without hindering functionality. Upon finishing the book, you will have the knowledge and resources to build your own serverless application hosted in AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform, and will have experienced the benefits of event-driven technology for yourself.

This hands-on guide dives into the basis of serverless architectures and how to build them using Node.js as a programming language, Visual Studio Code for code editing, and Postman for quickly and securely developing applications without the hassle of configuring and maintaining infrastructure on three public cloud platforms.
