By: Shashikant Bangera

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. By the end of this book, you will be in a position to effectively build a complete CI and CD delivery pipeline with log management for serverless applications.

But developers are not really in favor of Ops, because they always have to deal with Ops for their code to function and perform as per the business requirement on the production. The whole idea of Operations was to provision the infrastructure, which is similar across the different environments (development, QA, pre-production and production), so that it makes life easier for the developer so they  can just worry about building the application.
