Serverless Architectures on AWS, 2nd EditionServerless Architectures on AWS, 2nd Edition teaches you how to design serverless systems. You'll discover the principles behind serverless architectures, and explore real-world case studies where companies used serverless architectures for their products. You won't just master the technical essentials - the book contains extensive coverage of balancing tradeoffs and making essential technical decisions. This new edition has been fully updated with new chapters covering current best practice, example architectures, and full coverage of the latest changes to AWS.
Maintaining server hardware and software can cost a lot of time and money. Unlike traditional data center infrastructure, serverless architectures offload core tasks like data storage and hardware management to pre-built cloud services. Better yet, you can combine your own custom AWS Lambda functions with other serverless services to create features that automatically start and scale on demand, reduce hosting cost, and simpl ...

You'll also learn about the reduction of downtime with blue-green deployment and feature flags techniques before finally covering ...
Taking Kubernetes from Test to ProductionWith Kubernetes came many new concepts, particularly around networking and traffic management. Alongside these new concepts were entirely new classes of tools, designed for ephemeral, containerized, and distributed application deployments. In particular, Ingress controllers and service meshes did not exist prior to the Kubernetes era. Nor were Layer 4 and Layer 7 protocols and traffic typically managed from the same control plane. At a granular level, Kubernetes introduces new complexities around security and management. Simple tasks like load balancing are very different in a realm where infrastructure is 100% ephemeral and often moving constantly - both in terms of setting up new instances with fresh IP addresses and geographically moving around the globe.
These new traffic management concepts and tools have the power to vastly improve developer experience and accelerate app development and delivery cycles through greater resilience, higher performance, and better security. But wh ...
