Managing physical servers will be a thing of the past once you're able to harness the power of Serverless computing. This recipe-based guide provides solutions to problems you might face while building Serverless applications.
You'll begin by setting up Amazon Web Services (AWS), the primary cloud provider used for most recipes. The next set of recipes will teach you about the components you need to build a Serverless web application, such as REST APIs, database, user management, authentication, domain registration, DNS management, website hosting, and CDN. The book also provides you with a fresh perspective by introducing you to the latest technology trends with recipes based on messaging, notifications, data analytics, machine learning, and NLP. Further, the book contains recipes on DevOps practices such as logging and monitoring. AWS discussion ends with some real-world practices and patterns. Finally, to broaden your understanding of Serverless computing, you'll also cover getting started guides for other cloud providers, such as Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and IBM cloud.
The Serverless architecture allows you to build and run applications and services without having to manage the necessary infrastructure, which reduces expenditure and improves scalability. In this book, you will learn how to harness Serverless technology to reduce production time, minimize cost, and gain the freedom to customize your code, all without hindering functionality.
By the end of this book, you'll have acquired the skills you need to build Serverless applications efficiently using various public cloud offerings.
