Serverless Architectures on AWS : With Examples Using AWS Lambda

Serverless Architectures on AWS teaches you how to build, secure and manage serverless architectures that can power the most demanding web and mobile apps. Forewords by Patrick Debois (Founder of devopsdays) and Dr. Donald F. Ferguson (Columbia University). About the Technology There's a shift underway toward serverless cloud architectures. With the release of serverless computer technologies such as AWS Lambda, developers are now building entirely serverless platforms at scale. In these new architectures, traditional back-end servers are replaced with cloud functions acting as discrete single-purpose services. By composing and combining these serverless cloud functions together in a loose orchestration and adopting useful third-party services, developers can create powerful yet easy-to-understand applications. About the Book Serverless Architectures on AWS teaches you how to build, secure, and manage serverless architectures that can power the most demanding web and mobile apps. You'll get going quickly with this book's ready-made real-world examples, code snippets, diagrams, and descriptions of architectures that can be readily applied. By the end, you'll be able to architect and build your own serverless applications on AWS. What's Inside • First steps with serverless computing • Important patterns and architectures • Writing AWS Lambda functions and using the API Gateway • Composing serverless applications using key services like Auth0 and Firebase • Securing, deploying, and managing serverless architectures About the Reader This book is for software developers interested in back end technologies. Experience with JavaScript (node.js) and AWS is useful but not required.

With the release of serverless compute technologies, such as AWS Lambda, developers are now building entirely serverless platforms at scale. In these new architectures, traditional back-end servers are replaced with cloud functions acting as discrete single-purpose services. By composing and combining these serverless cloud functions together in a loose orchestration, and adopting useful third-party services, you can build powerful yet easy to understand applications. Serverless architecture is about building rich, scalable, high-performing, and cost-effective systems without having to worry about traditional compute infrastructure, having more time to focus on code, and moving quickly. Serverless Architectures on AWS teaches you how to build, secure and manage serverless architectures that can power the most demanding web and mobile apps. You'll get going quickly with this book's ready-made and real-world examples, code snippets, diagrams, and descriptions of architectures that can be readily applied. This book describes a traditional application and its back end concerns and then shows how to solve these same problems with a serverless approach. You'll begin with a high-level overview of what serverless is all about, start creating your own media transcoding system, and learn more about AWS. Next, you'll go in depth and learn about Lambda, API Gateway and other important serverless technologies. This section will teach you how to compose Lambda functions and discuss important considerations when it comes to building serverless systems. The third part of the book focuses on more advanced topics as your architecture grows. By the end, you'll be able to reason about serverless systems and be able to compose your own systems by applying these ideas and examples.
