Overview of this book

Serverless applications and architectures are gaining momentum and are increasingly being used by companies of all sizes. Serverless software takes care of many problems that developers face when running systems and servers, such as fault tolerance, centralized logging, horizontal scalability, and deployments. You will learn how to harness serverless technology to rapidly reduce production time and minimize your costs, while still having the freedom to customize your code, without hindering functionality. Upon finishing the book, you will have the knowledge and resources to build your own serverless application hosted in AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform, and will have experienced the benefits of event-driven technology for yourself. This hands-on guide dives into the basis of serverless architectures and how to build them using Node.js as a programming language, Visual Studio Code for code editing, and Postman for quickly and securely developing applications without the hassle of configuring and maintaining infrastructure on three public cloud platforms.

What is Serverless Computing?

Before we start creating serverless applications to run in Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and the Google Cloud Platform (GCP), let's learn about what serverless computing is. We will learn about how it is being used, and about Function as a Service (FaaS) and the benefits that serverless computing provides. Readers will also learn about what serverless computing isn't.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • What is serverless computing?
  • Use cases of serverless computing
  • Unpacking FaaS
  • What serverless computing is not
  • The benefits of serverless computing
  • Best practices to get the maximum benefits out of serverless computing
