  • Agile Development for Serverless Platforms

    Manning Publications

    You need more than great dev tools to release great software; you need an efficient pipeline that takes advantage of modern Agile development practices. Serverless platforms like AWS offer the basic building blocks you need to run code, store data, or process streaming information so you can focus on the features you want to provide, not get bogged down with the infrastructure. Combined with an agile process, serverless architectures help create a quick feedback loop between developers, end…

    You need more than great dev tools to release great software; you need an efficient pipeline that takes advantage of modern Agile development practices. Serverless platforms like AWS offer the basic building blocks you need to run code, store data, or process streaming information so you can focus on the features you want to provide, not get bogged down with the infrastructure. Combined with an agile process, serverless architectures help create a quick feedback loop between developers, end users, and businesses, allowing for the quick prototyping and easy production roll-out you need to innovate and react on the fly.

    Agile Development for Serverless Platforms helps you start thinking about how to apply Agile practices in fully serverless architectures. This book brings together excerpts from four Manning books selected by Danilo Poccia, the author of AWS Lambda in Action. These chapters are a fantastic way to lay the foundations for understanding the world of agile development on serverless architecture. With concepts from working with APIs, serverless development patterns, designing an authentication system, and more, you'll see just how to tackle this new way to develop efficiently and effectively.

  • AWS Lambda in Action - Event-Driven Serverless Applications

    Manning Publications

    AWS Lambda in Action is an example-driven tutorial that teaches you how to build applications that use an event-driven approach on the back end. You'll begin with an overview of how AWS Lambda works and move on to expose those functions as web API using Amazon API Gateway. After an introduction to how to approach security, you move on to common examples and patterns that you can easily reuse to call Lambda functions from a web page or a mobile app. The second part of the book puts all those…

    AWS Lambda in Action is an example-driven tutorial that teaches you how to build applications that use an event-driven approach on the back end. You'll begin with an overview of how AWS Lambda works and move on to expose those functions as web API using Amazon API Gateway. After an introduction to how to approach security, you move on to common examples and patterns that you can easily reuse to call Lambda functions from a web page or a mobile app. The second part of the book puts all those smaller examples together to build larger applications. Learn also how AWS Lambda can be used to manage resources on AWS, react to notifications and alarms from other AWS services, and even use Lambda functions to deploy other Lambda functions, building a new kind of Continuous Integration.

    AWS Lambda makes back-end tasks like producing a thumbnail from a new image or processing requests from a mobile app simple to implement, ready for web-scale traffic, and free of the overhead of managing scalability and availability. With AWS Lambda, every interaction between resources is the potential source of an event that can be processed in near real-time by a function hosted by Lambda. This event-driven approach in the back end of your application lets you focus on developing unique features, freeing you from management of infrastructure. With AWS Lambda, the scope of your application is naturally divided in small functions, giving you a reactive architecture and the right approach to adopt microservices.

    By the end of this book, you'll be ready to use AWS Lambda to create applications that take advantage of the high availability, security, performance, and scalability of AWS.
