Round-up of my serverless articles from May
Quick question: Do you know any early-stage tech startups who: 1) Have seed funding AND 2) Are NOT using a serverless architecture for their product? If so, I’m doing a little research & would love to ask their CTO a few questions on their architecture. I’d really appreciate any introductions you could make to me. 🙏
Now onto today’s email…
I’ve published several daily emails on serverless over the past month. Here’s a selection of these which sparked some interest/discussion:
- 🎙 My AWS.fm podcast episode with Adam Elmore and Dax Raad where we discuss serverless in startups and the future of app development
- Setting up developer AWS accounts for a new startup
- IaC is becoming table stakes for new cloud services
- Learning adjacent technologies
- Practise Continuous Integration to mitigate CloudFormation stack deployment pains
- I’m trying out Serverless Stack/SST
- Event-driven architecture is not a must-have to get started building with serverless
- Where to find serverless developers online
- Why are so few funded startups using serverless?
- Moving from one to two developers on your AWS serverless project
- Quantifying the cost of introducing extra moving parts into your serverless architecture
