In this chapter, we saw some of the advanced AWS services, such as Cloud9 and Alexa. We saw how Cloud9 can be used to spin up a development environment on demand, and how the IDE can be used to develop and deploy Lambda functions. We also saw the basics of Alexa and how we can create a sample custom skill. Alexa skill design is a vast topic and an exhaustive study of its official developer guide is recommended. This was meant as a primer to get started with some of the advanced AWS services. The field of Serverless architectures sees innovations and improvements at a breakneck speed. Readers who have read this far are recommended to subscribe to the official announcements of the cloud providers and the frameworks to keep up to date with the developments.

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.
