Description
This book describes how Serverless and cloud-native systems work, their benefits and roles in automating and optimising organisations, and the challenges to be considered. Anyone interested in Serverless architecture will benefit from this book regardless of their level of technical understanding.
'Serverless - Beyond the buzzword' explains many related terms such as microservices, cloud-native, architecture, several relevant AWS services and how it all works together to produce cost-effective, scalable solutions in the cloud.
For the less-technical decisionmaker, an essential part of the book is that it helps you understand how Serverless might affect finance, security, people and compliance. It touches on important decisions, such as selecting and working with external or internal specialists and teams, finding them, evaluating, training, and the flexibility and dynamics within digital projects.
Deployment automation and DevOps also feature heavily in this book, and towards the end of the book, you can find some real use cases and examples of Serverless architecture to get you started.
It's worth noting that this book is not a development guide; it gives you a comprehensive understanding of what Serverless is so you can make informed decisions for your organisation and projects.
