Hands-On Serverless Applications with Kotlin

By: Hardik Trivedi, Ameya Kulkarni

Overview of this book

Serverless is a cloud computing execution model where the cloud provider dynamically manages the allocation and provisioning of servers. Many companies now use serverless architectures to cut costs and improve scalability. Thanks to its concise and expressive syntax and a smooth learning curve, Kotlin is a great fit for developing serverless applications. With this book, you’ll be able to put your knowledge to work by implementing serverless technology in your applications and become productive in no time. Complete with detailed explanation of essential concepts and examples, this book will help you understand the serverless architecture fundamentals and how to design serverless architectures for your applications. You’ll also explore how AWS Lambda functions work. The book will guide you in designing, building, securing, and deploying your application to production, along with implementing non-functional requirements such as auditing and logging. Furthermore, you’ll discover how to scale up and orchestrate serverless applications using an open source framework and handle distributed serverless systems in production. By the end of the book, you’ll be able to build scalable and cost-efficient Kotlin applications with a serverless framework.

AWS Cloud9

In this section, let's have a look at the basics of AWS Cloud9.

Introduction to Cloud9

AWS Cloud9 is a tool chain that enables developers to develop, test, debug, and release their software in the cloud. It provides an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that can be accessed via the web browser. The Cloud9 IDE is feature-rich and offers the same level of experience and customizability that some of the offline editors, such as Atom and Sublime Text, offer. Since the development occurs near to where it is intended to run (in the cloud), it feels like a natural fit in the developer tool chain. With Cloud9, you can compute heavy development environments and pay just a fraction of the cost. All the user needs...
