Testing serverless applications
Implementing robust testing and deployment strategies is crucial for ensuring the reliability and resilience of your serverless applications. Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines can automate the build, testing, and deployment processes, reducing the risk of human error and ensuring consistent deployments. In Chapter 6, in the Making frequent, small, reversible changes section, we defined different strategies for CI and CD.
