Being Functionless: How to Develop a Serverless Mindset to Write Less Code!
Dynamic cloud services like AWS Lambda have revolutionized computing, leading to rapid deployment and innovation in serverless technology. However, over-reliance on Functions as a Service (FaaS) can create complex architectures and increase costs. Adopting a functionless mindset and leveraging native service integrations fosters simplicity, enhances sustainability, and optimizes efficiency.

The Set Piece Strategy: Tackling Complexity in Serverless Applications
In this article, senior engineering manager and AWS Serverless hero Sheen Brisals examines how the characteristics of serverless such as optimization, robust availability and scalability influence us to think in a new way of architecting and evolving modern applications as set pieces, a concept from moviemaking. The contents of this article were presented during QCon London 2024.

Containers and Serverless—Rivals or Cohorts?
This article will try to decode these technologies and explore how developers should consider containers or serverless functions within their tech stack. For example, if your application has a longer startup time, then a container would suit the need better. Highly efficient stateless functions that need to scale up and down massively would benefit from running serverless functions.
