Building resilience into serverless

Serverless architectures are inherently more resilient and fault-tolerant than traditional monolithic applications. The serverless model eliminates the need for provisioning and managing servers, automatically scaling resources based on demand, and providing built-in redundancy and failover mechanisms. However, serverless applications still need to be designed and implemented with fault tolerance in mind to ensure reliable and consistent operation.

Building resilient serverless applications involves adopting specific design patterns and best practices to handle failures, errors, and unexpected scenarios gracefully. In this section, we will explore the key considerations for enhancing the resiliency of serverless applications, focusing on idempotent and asynchronous function design. Idempotent functions are designed to produce the same result regardless of how many times they are executed. We will cover error handling, retries, and managing throttling...
