What if you could deploy scalable Python apps to the cloud without managing a single server? Tired of spinning up EC2s or dealing with backend headaches just to test a function? Curious how companies build full-stack applications that scale automatically — with zero infrastructure management?
Welcome to the no-server revolution.
Python Serverless Framework For Beginners is your ultimate fast-track into cloud development with AWS Lambda and the Serverless Framework — even if you've never deployed a single cloud function before.
This isn't another dry theory book. It's a hands-on, real-world guide that walks you through building and deploying modern Python applications that are lightweight, scalable, and production-ready — with step-by-step instructions, working code, and fully explained examples.
What You'll Learn Serverless Demystified: Understand what “serverless” really means, how it works, and why it’s the future of software deployment Python-Powered Cloud Functions: Write and deploy AWS Lambda functions using Python 3.11+, the Serverless Framework, and minimal configuration REST APIs Without Servers: Build, test, and secure APIs using API Gateway, Lambda, and DynamoDB — with zero DevOps Real-World Projects: Launch hands-on projects like a URL shortener, email sender service, and feedback collection API CI/CD for Serverless: Automate deployment pipelines with GitHub Actions — no manual deploy buttons, ever Security Best Practices: Learn how to manage secrets, use JWTs, configure IAM, and protect your endpoints from common threats Advanced Event-Driven Patterns: Schedule cron jobs with EventBridge, react to file uploads, stream data, and integrate with webhooks Cost Optimization & Monitoring: Set up CloudWatch, handle cold starts, track cost metrics, and avoid surprise AWS bills Multi-Cloud Ready: Explore Azure Functions and Google Cloud Functions, and learn how to stay portable across providers
