Serverless

I tested three Infrastructure from Code frameworks and got drastically different experiences. Here's what I found.

It costs much more than your monthly AWS bill to build and maintain an app in production

There's a certain amount of traffic that tips the scales to make serverless a more expensive bill at the end of the month.

Did you know API Gateway integrates directly with over 100 services? Learn how to skip Lambda and what to watch out for when you do.

Infrastructure from code is a new concept that determines cloud resources directly from your code. I tried it out and formed some early opinions.

Anyone who has used Step Functions will tell you the DevEx leaves something to be desired. But we can still make it work.

Whenever we talk about serverless, there's always the one person who brings up cold starts.

Normalizing on standards for building microservices provides strong, consistent software anyone can pick up and maintain.
