So far, we have learned the best practices for using DevOps and designing the architecture of a serverless application. We also looked at the best ways of writing functions to make them scalable and have a faster cold start. Going forward, we will learn how to apply the best practices for a specific cloud provider.
AWS Lambda is a very popular and mature serverless platform. Because of this, most serverless best practices are aligned with Lambda, and there are a number of tools and processes that align functions perfectly well with AWS Lambda. In this section, when we talk about DevOps, we will look at the source code versioning, building, testing, the package itself, releasing, monitoring, security, and controlling the cost aspects of DevOps. All of these aspects of DevOps are stitched together to perform as a single platform. This needs a lot of hard work and patience from us if we are to reach the nirvana of DevOps.
