Serverless Architecture

This one covers the fundamentals of building serverless apps across AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and GCP Cloud Functions. You get practical patterns for event-driven architectures, Step Functions orchestration, and the usual serverless stack with API Gateway, DynamoDB, and SNS. The reference guides walk through real implementations including monitoring setup with CloudWatch and distributed tracing. Best part is the pragmatic advice on idempotency, cold start optimization, and avoiding synchronous chains. If you're moving from containers to serverless or building event-driven systems, this gives you the patterns to do it right without the typical trial and error phase.

Overview

Serverless architecture enables building complete applications without managing servers. Design event-driven, scalable systems using managed compute services, databases, and messaging systems. Pay only for actual usage with automatic scaling.

When to Use

  • Event-driven applications
  • API backends and microservices
  • Real-time data processing
  • Batch jobs and scheduled tasks
  • Workflow automation
  • IoT data pipelines
  • Multi-tenant SaaS applications
  • Mobile app backends

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

# serverless.yml - Serverless Framework
service: my-app

frameworkVersion: "3"
