Description

Over the last few years, there has been a massive shift from monolithic architecture to microservices, thanks to their small and independent deployments that allow increased flexibility and agile delivery. Traditionally, virtual machines and containers were the principal mediums for deploying microservices, but they involved a lot of operational effort, configuration, and maintenance. More recently, serverless computing has gained popularity due to its built-in autoscaling abilities, reduced operational costs, and increased productivity. Building Serverless Microservices in Python begins by introducing you to serverless microservice structures. You will then learn how to create your first serverless data API and test your microservice. Moving on, you'll delve into data management and work with serverless patterns. Finally, the book introduces you to the importance of securing microservices. By the end of the book, you will have gained the skills you need to combine microservices with serverless computing, making their deployment much easier thanks to the cloud provider managing the servers and capacity planning.

Found this is a really good book to get me up and running with Serverless in AWS using Python, wish it were bit longer. Really like how the author introduces microservice architecture theory, with practical examples I can use and the in-depth and hands-on section on many forms of testing.

best for aws users trying to learn python scripting

Andres G. T. Jul 25, 2020

It has a good intro to microservices concepts and good practice with lambda. However, if you plan to follow the exercises you may find it difficult. For example, sometimes the code it's repetitive and the author doesn't explain why, or he doesn't tell you that, after writing some python scripts, you have to run them locally first before running a test for a lambda function in AWS. Also, the GitHub site for the book is hard to find the code for the corresponding section in the book (at the least in the Kindle edition).

This can't really be called a "book". It's a tutorial, where you follow the directions given to create an AWS serverless service. There is a brief description of what each command does, but very little discussion of why or what other approaches are possible. Many of the steps are literally "cut and paste this code into the box".The real issue is that even as a tutorial it's atrocious. The quality of the code itself wouldn't pass muster in any serious programming team. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to what is abstracted or parameterized, leading to code that is overcomplicated and verbose while providing no real value for reuse. But it's also terribly written for a tutorial. When code from one step is expanded with a little bit of additional functionality in the next step, that isn't added as a few extra lines of code; instead the entire code is arbitrarily rewritten with slightly different function names for no obvious reason. There was clearly no intention of readers ever actually "working through" the tutorial by coding it up themselves (and experimenting with variations), only cutting and pasting.I wish I had the knowledge to comment on whether the tutorial genuinely offers modern best practice for developing serverless applications. I don't. But the author's obvious lack of any production software engineering expertise or experience does not inspire confidence.That this "book" was pushed out the door in this state must be taken as a reflection of its publisher. Based on this book, I will make sure not to waste money on any other Packt releases in the future.

Terribile. È scritto coi piedi. Sembra il risultato di una persona a cui è stato detto che dovrebbe scrivere un libro, e ha buttato giù quattro appunti. Termini usati senza definirli, o con la definizione dopo il primo utilizzo. Frasi senza capo ne coda. Mi sono fermato quando ho visto una immagine in bianco e nero con la spiegazione: "I rettangoli in verde indicano i servizi...". QUesto genere di libri distruggono la fiducia in un autore e in una casa editrice. Non li conoscevo prima, li eviterò in seguito. Mi spiace perchè l'argomento mi interessava davvero :-(
