Automate AWS Lambda function deployments to AWS CDK

When you build a cloud-based application, you can choose to deploy the resources using the GUI (Graphical User Interface) or CLI (Command Line Interface) provided by the cloud provider. This approach can work well with just a handful of resources, but as the complexity of your application increases, it can become difficult to manage the infrastructure manually.

Seven Tools to Help You Become a Better Serverless Developer

Serverless technologies let us do more with less effort, time and energy. They let us focus on creating user value and let the cloud handle undifferentiated heavy-lifting like scaling and securing the underlying infrastructure that runs our code. Serverless technologies have allowed me to accomplish tasks as a solo engineer that used to take a whole team of engineers to accomplish, and I’m able to complete these tasks in a fraction of the time and cost to my customers.
