We aim to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the distinct security landscape presented by serverless architectures. we will begin by demystifying serverless computing, exploring its benefits, challenges, and how it compares to traditional microservices. Next, we will delve into the function-based design paradigm, focusing on the granularity and composition of serverless functions, along with their inherent stateless nature.

As we progress, we will bring the concept of event-driven communication into sharp focus. Understanding this is crucial as we transition into a detailed discussion on event-driven security mechanisms, covering topics from event sources and schema validation to data encryption.

We will then proceed to...
