AWS AppSync

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.

The key benefit of serverless is not "no servers to manage". It's "almost no backend code".
