From the course: Cloud Native Projects: AWS Serverless

Flexibility with Lambda

- [Frank] If you work with cloud native technologies, you cannot escape hearing about serverless. The concept of paying for the operations you use versus the infrastructure at 24 hours a day, seven days a week, appeals in many specific use cases in software engineering today. Many people talk about serverless. However, not everyone has a clear picture of what it truly is. This course will not only explain what serverless is but also answer the benefits and negatives of this development toolkit. We will look at specific use cases for AWS's implementation of serverless, called Lambda, and how to leverage this with several languages, to not only help you make appropriate decisions on how but also when to use this technology. Hi, I'm Frank Moley. I'm a cloud-native developer, architect, and manager working in both public and private clouds throughout my career. I have consumed and even helped build serverless technologies. I am passionate about technology and sharing that technology with others. So let's get ready to learn about cloud native challenges, focusing on AWS Lambda as a serverless technology.
