Running Serverless (1 ed)

Running Serverless: Introduction to AWS Lambda and the Serverless Application Model

This book will help you get started with AWS Lambda and the Serverless Application Model (SAM). Lambda is Amazon’s engine for running event-driven functions, and SAM is an open-source toolkit that greatly simplifies configuring and deploying Lambda services. Together, they make it easy to create auto-scaling APIs and cloud services designed for serverless deployments. You’ll learn how to:

• Design applications that get the most out of serverless architecture
• Create auto-scaling web APIs
• Handle background tasks and messaging workflows
• Set up a deployment pipeline for effective team collaboration
• Test and troubleshoot code designed for AWS Lambda
• Inspect and monitor serverless applications
