Look inside
Going serverless and hosting your web applications in the cloud drastically reduces the time you spend worrying about infrastructure—giving you more time for building features and solving business problems. Serverless apps are easier to scale, quicker to develop, and less complex than traditional server-hosted applications; it’s no wonder they’re becoming the norm in business. And with JavaScript support in AWS Lambda and powerful serverless API tools like the Claudia.js library, it’s a great time to get started learning to build and deploy serverless apps.

about the book

Exploring Serverless Applications with Node.js includes the first three chapters of Serverless Applications with Node.js by serverless experts Slobodan Stojanović and Aleksandar Simović. This quick-start mini ebook begins with an introduction to the core concepts of serverless architecture, exploring the features that Claudia.js offers for creating serverless applications. In the second chapter, you’ll apply those concepts and features to building a serverless pizzeria app while taking a closer look at Claudia.js in action. Next, since Node.js executes asynchronously, you’ll explore how serverless affects asynchronization. Finally, you’ll discover for yourself the ease of connecting AWS Lambda to an external service as you add functionality to your app for storing your pizza orders with AWS DynamoDB. Filled with examples and exercises, this introductory guide is the perfect place to start learning highly-sought-after serverless skills.
