Serverless Apps with Node and Claudia.js

Rate this book
First the buzzwords: Serverless computing. AWS Lambda. API Gateway. Node.js. Microservices. Cloud-hosted functions. That's an impressive-sounding list, but what's the point? Beyond the buzzwords are real benefits like fast design-to-deployment times, low hosting costs, and efficient scaling and application management, along with real technologies that deliver them.

Serverless Apps with Node and Claudia.js walks you through building serverless apps on AWS using JavaScript. Inside, you'll create a full project designed to help you understand and apply general serverless design principles and concepts. Along the way, you'll also discover what Claudia brings to the table as you build and deploy a scalable event-based serverless application that is fully integrated with AWS services including Lambda and API Gateway. You'll learn to simplify the design and development process so you can focus on getting your application deployed as fast as possible without sacrificing quality. Plus, you'll learn how to migrate your existing Express apps to serverless!

The important and challenging concepts are not well explained and the easy things are covered with a tone of diagrams...in the end, this book is pretty useless and leave you with the pain of trying to figure out everything they pretend to cover by yourself. The book does not cover front-end integration at all, so you might have some hard time in this regard as well. Not convinced by this claudia library neither.

this book sucks. so many important concepts are missed out. Resulting you spending a lot of time googling all the concepts. Instead, simple stuffs are explained in great details with charts which are not necessary. Overall, waste a lot of time
