I often get asked what software tools are ideal for a serverless developer. I like being asked for my tooling preferences as much as the next developer gal, but when you break it down, this particular question is flawed. Serverless is, after all, about using a massive suite of platform tools to let you do minimal management.

Lights, Cameras, CHAOSSEARCH Yesterday, Thomas and I had the opportunity to sit down with AM and Nicki from the AWS Twitch series, Build with AM & Nicki.

In fact, it is forecast that the global spend would reach $5 trillion by the end of 2019. Most of the money streaming into the IT industry comes for corporations and government agencies. Households are also contributing to it, including home-based commercial ventures.
