Serverless
- No servers to manage
- Continuous scaling and balancing
- Pay only for used, not reserved time
- Less code to manage
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, @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".

Serviceful Serverless
// Variable Expense
⚡️💡
Think of managed services like the electricity that runs through your home.
// Elasticity
// Less Code
Go for an application that any idiot can maintain - because sooner or later, any idiot probably is going to maintain it.
// Experimentation
