What I Learned from AWS Serverless

As someone who has been working in the cloud computing industry for a while, I have been keeping a close eye on the growing popularity of serverless technology. With the increasing demand for highly scalable, cost-effective and agile solutions, I decided to take my skills to the next level and explore the world of AWS serverless.

To start my journey, I first familiarized myself with the basic concepts of serverless computing, including event-driven architectures and the benefits of using serverless solutions. I then proceeded to explore the various AWS serverless services, such as AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, and AWS DynamoDB, among others.

I found that the best way to learn these services was through hands-on experience. I created simple serverless applications and gradually added more complexity as I became more comfortable with the tools and services. This allowed me to understand how these services work together to build scalable and efficient solutions.

Next, I focused on security and best practices for building and deploying serverless applications. I learned about the various security features offered by AWS, such as resource-based policies, IAM roles, and security groups, and how to use them effectively. I also learned about deployment strategies, including blue-green and canary deployments, and how to monitor and troubleshoot serverless applications.

In conclusion, I have found my journey into AWS serverless to be a rewarding and challenging experience. I have gained a deeper understanding of serverless technology and how it can be leveraged to build scalable and cost-effective solutions. I would highly recommend anyone interested in serverless technology to start their journey and explore the world of AWS serverless.
