Serverless technology is the latest paradigm in cloud computing that enables builders to create applications that are highly scalable, performant, and cost effective without having to manage or maintain servers.

This book will start with the history of how serverless technologies have become popular, and focus in on event-driven applications using AWS Lambda. You will step through combining Lambda with Amazon API Gateway, Amazon DynamoDB, and other popular services from Amazon Web Services. Moving on, this guide will show you how to write, run, and test Lambda functions using examples in Node.js, Java, Python, and C#. Next, you will develop and deploy AWS Lambda functions efficiently within the Serverless Framework in keeping with DevOps practices. Lastly, you will gain some tips and best practices in terms of leveraging serverless services so as to implement new architecture patterns and use cases.

By the end of this book, you will be well versed in building, securing, and running applications and APIs without managing any servers.
