*Serverless Architectures and Applications* provides a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the evolving world of serverless computing. Beginning with an accessible introduction to the historical foundations, the book meticulously unpacks the shift from virtualization technologies and containers to the serverless paradigm, clarifying principles, patterns, and the myths that surround modern serverless deployments. Readers are introduced to both Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) and Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) models, gaining crucial insights into economic considerations, optimal use cases, and pitfalls to avoid when designing or migrating to serverless solutions.
The heart of the book dives into practical aspects of building, operating, and scaling serverless applications. Detailed chapters compare major cloud platforms like AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Google Cloud Functions, as well as prominent open-source alternatives. Architectural best practices are explored through in-depth coverage of event-driven programming, workflow orchestration, API design, state management, and microservices modularization. The text is further enriched with strategic guidance for real-world challenges such as data management, observability, CI/CD pipelines, resilience, and cost optimization, making it invaluable for architects, engineers, and DevOps professionals.
Security, privacy, and compliance concerns receive thorough treatment, alongside advanced application patterns incorporating machine learning, IoT, edge computing, and service mesh integrations. The book concludes by addressing the current limitations, future trends, and the organizational impact of serverless adoption, including topics like vendor lock-in, portability, and the rise of new models such as Kubernetes-based serverless and WebAssembly. With its balanced blend of conceptual rigor and actionable detail, *Serverless Architectures and Applications* is an essential resource for anyone seeking to master cloud-native development in today's fast-paced technology landscape.
