You will discover how serverless can free you from the tedious task of setting up and maintaining systems in production. You will also explore new ways to level up your career and design, develop, and deploy with confidence.

In three parts, this book includes:

The Path to Production: Examine the ins and outs of distributed systems, microservices, interfaces, and serverless architecture and patterns.

The Tools: Dive into monitoring, observability and alerting, logging, pipelines, automation, and deployment.

Concepts: Learn how to design security and privacy, how to manage quality through testing and staging, and how to plan for failure.

Serverless computing is a rapidly evolving technology that is revolutionizing the way we build and deploy applications. It offers several benefits, including increased scalability, reduced costs, and improved flexibility. However, it also presents unique challenges, such as managing state, handling concurrent requests, and ensuring security.

In this book, you will learn how to build serverless applications using popular frameworks such as AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Google Cloud Functions. You will cover topics such as event-driven programming, serverless architecture, and best practices for building secure and reliable services.

You will also learn about the tools and technologies that are used in serverless computing, such as AWS CloudWatch, AWS CodeBuild, and AWS CodeDeploy. These tools can help you monitor your applications, automate deployment, and manage your infrastructure.

Whether you are a seasoned software engineer or just starting your career in software development, this book will provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to build and deploy serverless applications with confidence.

So, if you are ready to take your software development career to the next level, then this is the book for you. Get your copy today and start building your serverless applications!
