What if you could create robust, highly scalable apps without having to worry about server management?
One of the most significant changes in contemporary software engineering is examined in detail and with clarity in Taylor Royce's book Serverless Architecture in Practice. This book is intended for developers, architects, and IT executives who are prepared to embrace the flexibility of event-driven, cloud-native systems and move beyond conventional infrastructure.
This tutorial goes far beyond cursory summaries by combining technical in-depth knowledge with useful insights. The core of serverless architecture is presented to readers, along with its advantages, disadvantages, and actual utility in real-world settings. Teams are effectively using serverless to speed up delivery, cut costs, and scale with ease, as demonstrated by real-world use cases ranging from web and mobile apps to data pipelines and IoT systems.
Among the main themes are:
- A thorough analysis of the differences between serverless and microservices, containers, and monoliths
- Reliability, performance, and scalability-tested architectural patterns
- Techniques for overcoming system complexity, vendor lock-in, and cold starts
- Useful strategies for deployment workflows, observability, and cost control
- An examination of new developments, such as edge computing and workloads driven by AI
