We’ll then explore the benefits and limitations of Amazon Web Services (AWS) Lambda, as well as general approaches to building serverless applications.

Even if one accepts that the cloud increasingly allows developers to focus on writing code and not bothering with how it’s run, the hardware that powers the cloud looks set to matter for a long, long time—something Google’s Kelsey Hightower humorously points out. In fact, in areas
