Hands-On Serverless Applications with Kotlin

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.

Designing a Kotlin Serverless Application

Summary

In this chapter, we saw the basics of Infrastructure as Code and how it aids in scaling. We briefly looked at the Serverless Framework and retrofitted it in the LetsPollAPI app. With this, we saw how easy it is to provision a new environment for the code in minutes. We also looked at the caveats and challenges of scaling a serverless application, and saw some of the remediation for it.

In the next chapter, we will explore some advanced AWS Services, such as Cloud9, and write an Alexa skill that will enhance our system.
