Overview of this book

Serverless applications are becoming very popular among developers and are generating a buzz in the tech market. Many organizations struggle with the effective implementation of DevOps with serverless applications. DevOps for Serverless Applications takes you through different DevOps-related scenarios to give you a solid foundation in serverless deployment. You will start by understanding the concepts of serverless architecture and development, and why they are important. Then, you will get to grips with the DevOps ideology and gain an understanding of how it fits into the Serverless Framework. You'll cover deployment framework building and deployment with CI and CD pipelines for serverless applications. You will also explore log management and issue reporting in the serverless environment. In the concluding chapters, you will learn important security tips and best practices for secure pipeline management.

Chapter 9. Use Cases and Add-Ons

In the previous chapter, we learned how to apply some best practices in relation to serverless functions and DevOps. We understood how important it is to build light and secure serverless functions. We also learned about some best practices for monitoring and logging a serverless application. So, moving forward, let's look at the big picture of how serverless can be used in the real world and also learn how we can implement end-to-end DevOps around it. 

As developers are moving from monolithic application toward the serverless architecture more and more use cases are coming into existence. But it is getting equally more difficult to build, test and deploy them. So, in this chapter, we will learn few serverless use cases and also learn how to set up end-to-end deployment pipeline. 

This chapter will cover the following topics:

  • AWS Lambda use cases and add-ons
  • Azure Functions add-ons
  • Google Functions add-ons
