Key benefits

  • Create a secure, cost-effective, and scalable serverless data API
  • Use identity management and authentication for a user-specific and secure web application
  • Go beyond traditional web hosting to explore the full range of cloud hosting options

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.

Who is this book for?

If you are a developer with basic knowledge of Python and want to learn how to build, test, deploy, and secure microservices, then this book is for you. No prior knowledge of building microservices is required.

What you will learn

  • Discover what microservices offer above and beyond other architectures
  • Create a serverless application with AWS
  • Gain secure access to data and resources
  • Run tests on your configuration and code
  • Create a highly available serverless microservice data API
  • Build, deploy, and run your serverless configuration and code

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.

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 :-(

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
