20. Serverless is… Simple Empowering Event-Driven
21. serverless javascript is perfect for is perfect for serverless
22. JavaScript + Serverless = No-Side JavaScript
23. The Principles of No-Side JavaScript
24. Principle 1 Forget what you know
25. P1: Forget what you know No http server No long-running processes No process management
26. Principle 2 One Function, One Purpose
27. P2: One Function, One Purpose Don’t build a monolith Follow SRP Track invocation time
28. Principle 3 Think Distributed
29. Services are your friend More FUNctions Keep it practical P3: Think Distributed
30. Principle 4 Read but don’t Write
31. Read-Only File System Cache + Database Static Storage + CDN P4: Read but don’t Write
32. Principle 5 Know your Limits
33. Upload + Function size Concurrent Invocations Timeouts + Resources P5: Know your Limits
34. Principle 6 Static Version
35. Stable Build Target Not Bleeding Edge Slow to Update P6: Static Version
36. The Serverless Framework
37. Serverless Concerns Local Development Deployment Resource Creation
39. Serverless Framework Configured deployment Simple CLI commands Robust plugin architecture
40. your code serverless.yml lambda api gateway s3 bucket dynamodb table
