Serverless Architectures with AWS

Serverless Architectures with AWS teaches you how to build serverless applications on AWS—applications that do not require the developer to provision, scale, or manage any servers. Using an event-driven approach and AWS Lambda as the primary service, the book explains the many benefits of serverless architectures. By the end of the book, you will be ready to create and run your first serverless application that takes advantage of the high availability, security, performance, and scalability of AWS. With this new architecture, you will be able to focus on your product instead of worrying about managing and operating servers to run it.
