This book is intended for technical practitioners who have some experience in building mobile applications with cloud-based API services using JVM technologies, such as Java, Groovy, and Kotlin. It is desirable that you have some knowledge about how such systems are managed and maintained from an infrastructural point of view. You are also expected to have some experience in developing REST APIs on traditional monolithic architectures.
This book is intended to be an introduction to serverless architecture and its associated tooling. The code accompanying this book was developed on macOS systems using IntelliJ Idea IDE Community Edition Kotlin and Gradle. You should set up the appropriate tools on your machines as per your platform choice (Linux or Windows).
By the end of this book, you will be familiar with the various AWS offerings that are required for building modern applications backed by serverless APIs, as well as the tooling that is required for developing, deploying, monitoring, and supporting such systems.
