Book Description
AWS Lambda, a key component of AWS Serverless Computing, has transformed application development by allowing developers to focus on code rather than infrastructure. [Mastering Serverless Computing with AWS Lambda] is a must-have guide for leveraging AWS Lambda to build efficient, cost-effective serverless cloud solutions. This book guides readers from serverless basics to advanced deployment, offering practical approaches to building resilient, scalable applications.
Beginning with an introduction to serverless computing, the book explores AWS Lambda fundamentals, covering invocation models, service integrations, and event-driven design. Practical insights into hyper-scaling, instrumentation, and designing for failure empower readers to create robust, production-ready solutions.
This guide covers core concepts of serverless computing, including optimizations, automation, and strategies to navigate potential pitfalls. It emphasizes AWS Lambda’s resiliency, scalability, and disaster recovery, using real-world examples to showcase best practices.
Each chapter offers in-depth examples, edge computing scenarios, and proven patterns to help readers develop optimized serverless architectures. By the end, readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of AWS Lambda, equipping them to design sophisticated systems that meet modern cloud demands and drive innovation within their organizations.
