In this chapter, we looked at best practices for securing a Serverless app. We also looked at the security model recommended by AWS, and the basic constructs provided for securing accesses and infrastructure resources in an AWS account. We also underwent a practical walkthrough of securing the application that we created by launching resources in a VPC and encrypting the environment variables supplied to Lambda. This chapter can be treated as a primer in securing the Serverless system and its components on AWS. Security is ever-changing, and it is recommended that the reader keeps abreast of the different innovations that happen in this field.

Overview of this book
Serverless is a cloud computing execution model where the cloud provider dynamically manages the allocation and provisioning of servers. Many companies now use serverless architectures to cut costs and improve scalability. Thanks to its concise and expressive syntax and a smooth learning curve, Kotlin is a great fit for developing serverless applications.
With this book, you’ll be able to put your knowledge to work by implementing serverless technology in your applications and become productive in no time. Complete with detailed explanation of essential concepts and examples, this book will help you understand the serverless architecture fundamentals and how to design serverless architectures for your applications. You’ll also explore how AWS Lambda functions work. The book will guide you in designing, building, securing, and deploying your application to production, along with implementing non-functional requirements such as auditing and logging. Furthermore, you’ll discover how to scale up and orchestrate serverless applications using an open source framework and handle distributed serverless systems in production.
By the end of the book, you’ll be able to build scalable and cost-efficient Kotlin applications with a serverless framework.
