Hands-On Serverless Applications with Go

Learn to build, secure, deploy, and manage your serverless application in Golang with AWS Lambda Key FeaturesImplement AWS lambda to build scalable and cost-efficient applications in GoDesign and set the data flow between cloud services and custom business logicLearn to design Lambda functions using real-world examples and implementation scenariosBook DescriptionServerless architecture is popular in the tech community due to AWS Lambda. Go is simple to learn, straightforward to work with, and easy to read for other developers; and now it's been heralded as a supported language for AWS Lambda. This book is your optimal guide to designing a Go serverless application and deploying it to Lambda.This book starts with a quick introduction to the world of serverless architecture and its benefits, and then delves into AWS Lambda using practical examples. You'll then learn how to design and build a production-ready application in Go using AWS serverless services with zero upfront infrastructure investment. The book will help you learn how to scale up serverless applications and handle distributed serverless systems in production. You will also learn how to log and test your application.Along the way, you'll also discover how to set up a CI/CD pipeline to automate the deployment process of your Lambda functions. Moreover, you'll learn how to troubleshoot and monitor your apps in near real-time with services such as AWS CloudWatch and X-ray. This book will also teach you how to secure the access with AWS Cognito.By the end of this book, you will have mastered designing, building, and deploying a Go serverless application.What you will learnUnderstand how AWS Lambda works and use it to create an applicationUnderstand how to scaleup serverless applicationsDesign a cost-effective serverless application in AWSBuild a highly scalable and fault-tolerant CI/CD pipelineUnderstand how to troubleshoot and monitor serverless apps in AWSDiscover the working of APIs and single page applicationsBuild a production-ready serverless application in GoWho this book is forThis book is for Go developers who would like to learn about serverless architecture.
