Serverless computing—using platforms like AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, or Azure Functions—takes your microservices architecture and brings it into a new age of operations.

Pam Selle offers an overview of serverless computing, including why it’s so revolutionary and where to get started, and explains how you can use it to power your apps at a fraction of the usual cost of compute using a JavaScript-dominant architecture.
