From the Back Cover
Learn the basics of serverless computing and how to develop event-driven architectures with the three major cloud platforms: Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. This hands-on guide dives into the foundations of serverless computing, its use cases, and how to apply it using developer tools such as Node.js, Visual Studio Code, Postman, and Serverless Framework. You will apply the fundamentals of serverless technology from the ground up, and come away with a greater understanding of its power and how to make it work for you.
This book teaches you how to quickly and securely develop applications without the hassle of configuring and maintaining infrastructure. 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 completion, you will have the knowledge and resources to build your own serverless application hosted in AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud and will have experienced the benefits of event-driven technology for yourself.

Book Review
Name: Just Some GuyRating: 4.0 out of 5 stars
Title: .0 out of 5 stars A Good High Level Intro, as Advertised
Date: Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2018
Review: This book isn't bad. It's a good high level intro to Serverless cloud computing on AWS, Google and Microsoft clouds. The only problem is that it barely scratches the surface. It was my first Serverless book, so it provided the intro I was looking for. Having now read several more books and a ton of AWS Docs, though, I see how limited it was. It came as advertised - just be aware that you will need to read a lot more when you get thru this one.

Title: .0 out of 5 stars Large book with low resolution images
Date: Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2020
Review: The print book has unusual large pages, with plenty of page-wide screenshots. However, most if not all of these images are very unclear, and this is totally inexcusable. As a developer, the author should know how to copy and paste screenshots with a much better resolution, even on smaller surfaces.
As for the content itself, it is not bad, but it just barely scratches the surface of what serverless is, with some very basic samples. However, the walk-through in building a REST API with AWS, Azure and Google Cloud is a good and useful introduction.
