Serverless architectures, such as AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, and Azure’s Serverless Compute service, relieve you of hardware and scaling set-up concerns, and large companies like Netflix, Cmp.LY, and VidRoll are introducing serverless technologies into their technical stacks. Derek Ashmore offers an overview of AWS Lambda, the trend-setting cloud-based serverless architecture, and discusses its advantages and disadvantages before comparing and contrasting it with Google’s and Azure’s offerings. Derek also explores how to create and deploy Lambdas, providing examples along the way, and includes a discussion of best practices and when use of Lambda is appropriate.
