Deploy functions efficiently using different cloud-based serverless offerings Key Features Understand the concept of Function-as-a-Service Implement Serverless solutions using AWS Lambda, Azure Functions and Google Cloud Functions Practical approach towards choosing the best tool for your serverless environment Book Description Serverless applications and architectures are gaining momentum and are increasingly being used by companies of all sizes. Serverless software takes care of many problems that developers face when running systems and servers, such as fault tolerance, centralized logging, horizontal scalability, and deployments. You will learn how to harness serverless technology to rapidly reduce production time and minimize your costs, while still having the freedom to customize your code, without hindering functionality. Upon finishing the book, you will have the knowledge and resources to build your own serverless application hosted in AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform, and will have experienced the benefits of event-driven technology for yourself. This hands-on guide dives into the basis of serverless architectures and how to build them using Node.js as a programming language, Visual Studio Code for code editing, and Postman for quickly and securely developing applications without the hassle of configuring and maintaining infrastructure on three public cloud platforms. What you will learn Understand the benefts of serverless computing and know when to use it Develop serverless applications on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Get to grips with Function as a Service (FaaS) Apply triggers to serverless functions Build event-driven apps using serverless frameworks Use the Node.js programming language to build serverless apps Use code editors, such as Visual Studio Code, as development environments Master the best development practices for creating scalable and practical solutions Who this book is for This book is targeted towards developers, system administrators or any stakeholder working in the Serverless environment and want to understand how functions work. Basic idea of serverless architecture can be an added advantage

Companies looking to move enterprise applications to the cloud are busy weighing several options, such as the use of containers, machine learning, and serverless computing. There's a better way. Instead of helping you fit your use case to individual technologies, this practical guide explains how to use these technologies to fit your use case. Author Rui Costa, a learning consultant with Google, demonstrates this approach by showing you how to run your application on Google Cloud. Each chapter is dedicated to an area of technology that you need to address when planning and deploying your application. This book starts by presenting a detailed fictional use case, followed by chapters that focus on the building blocks necessary to deploy a secure enterprise application successfully. Build serverless applications with Google Cloud Functions Explore use cases for deploying a real-time messaging service Deploy applications to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) Build multiregional GKE clusters Integrate continuous integration and continuous delivery with your application Incorporate Google Cloud APIs, including speech-to-text and data loss prevention Enrich data with Google Cloud Dataflow Secure your application with Google Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy Explore BigQuery and visualization with Looker and BigQuery SDKs
