If you're an engineer who has spent late nights troubleshooting servers, you know the feeling. The pager going off at 2 AM. The cloud bill that keeps climbing. The hours spent provisioning infrastructure instead of building features.
Serverless architecture promises a different path. But moving from traditional infrastructure to serverless requires more than learning new tools, it requires a shift in how you think about building applications.
Serverless architecture promises a different path. But moving from traditional infrastructure to serverless requires more than learning new tools, it requires a shift in how you think about building applications.
Serverless Architecture: Volume 23 is written for engineers who want to understand that shift. This isn't a vendor-specific manual. It's a practical guide that explains the concepts, patterns, and trade-offs you need to make informed decisions.
What You'll Find Inside
Most serverless books assume you already understand the architecture or focus exclusively on one cloud provider. This guide starts with the fundamentals, explained from first principles, so you understand not just what to do, but why it matters.
The examples use general cloud concepts that apply across providers. Whether you work with AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, Google Cloud Functions, or another platform, the patterns and principles remain the same.
From Someone Who Has Been Where You Are
I've spent years managing infrastructure, provisioning servers, configuring load balancers, troubleshooting outages at inconvenient hours. When I first encountered serverless, I was skeptical. How could I trust a platform I couldn't see? What about cold starts? Wouldn't costs spiral out of control?
This book comes from that journey, from skepticism to understanding, from managing servers to building applications. I wrote it for the engineer who wants to move forward without leaving their hard-won experience behind.
This Book Is for You If
Serverless isn't about eliminating operations work, it's about shifting where that work happens. With the right foundation, you can build applications that scale automatically, cost less when idle, and let you focus on what matters most: your code.
Open the book and start your journey from servers to serverless.
What You'll Find Inside
- What serverless actually means, cutting through the marketing to understand the real value
- The mental shift, why your infrastructure experience might work against you
- When serverless makes sense, honest guidance on ideal use cases and red flags
- Core building blocks, functions, event sources, managed services, and how they connect
- How pricing works, understanding what drives costs and how to avoid surprises
- Design patterns that scale, approaches for building resilient applications
- Event-driven architecture, moving from request-response to responsive systems
- Security without servers, permissions, data protection, and shared responsibility
- Observability and monitoring, understanding what your application is doing
- Cost management strategies, keeping your bill predictable as usage grows
- Troubleshooting common issues, timeouts, memory problems, concurrency throttling
- A complete example, building a working application step by step

This book comes from that journey, from skepticism to understanding, from managing servers to building applications. I wrote it for the engineer who wants to move forward without leaving their hard-won experience behind.
This Book Is for You If
- You're a developer or engineer with some cloud experience but new to serverless
- You want to understand both the benefits and the trade-offs before committing
- You prefer practical guidance over theoretical exploration
- You're looking for a cross-platform introduction, not a vendor-specific manual
Serverless isn't about eliminating operations work, it's about shifting where that work happens. With the right foundation, you can build applications that scale automatically, cost less when idle, and let you focus on what matters most: your code.
Open the book and start your journey from servers to serverless.
