I've started reading this book and I rate it highly so far:
Serverless Development on AWS [0].
I agree that finding comprehensive, non-sales-oriented best practices can be challenging. One useful resource is Serverless Land from AWS [1], which offers a collection of practical examples and articles.
Mastering serverless involves more than just wiring up functions—it's about adopting Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles. Over time, you'll develop reusable patterns and tools like Terraform modules that encapsulate best practices such as asynchronous Lambdas with EventBridge subscriptions, SQS Dead Letter Queues (DLQ), and appropriate error handling configurations.
For a deeper dive into the Serverless philosophy explicitly applied to AWS, I recommend checking out Yan Cui's blog [2]. Yan provides insightful articles on serverless architectures and patterns.
I suggest exploring the Reactive Manifesto [3] for principles and best practices in building responsive, scalable systems if you're interested in asynchronous messaging patterns.

- financltravsty 2y agoHaving become an "expert" in Serverless: I hate it. I would rather stick with EC2s at this point.
- emestifs 2y agoCan you explain more? I'm very interested in what you have to say about serverless.
