Build Apps Quickly
Instead of a collection of functions calling each other, the best serverless applications are:
- Thick client code handling all interaction logic
- Heavy use of managed services (e.g., AppSync, Cognito, @Auth0, @Algolia, @Cloudinary)
- Small glue functions.
- JoeEmison (@joeemison)
The key benefit of serverless is not "no servers to manage". It's "almost no backend code".

Go for a business that any idiot can run - because sooner or later, any idiot probably is going to run it.
