Adopting Serverless Computing for Cloud-Native Applications

  Premise Serverless computing environments enable simplified, accelerated development of efficient, scalable microservices. For developers, one key advantage of serverless computing is that it frees them from having to build and maintain the logic that manages containers, virtual machines, and the other runtime engines in which their code executes. Public serverless cloud offerings from Amazon, […]

Using Functional Programming to Build Serverless Cloud Applications

Premise Functional programming enables developers to produce code that is clear, modular, parallelizable, efficient, maintainable, and portable. Based on a universal model of computation called lambda calculus, functional programming operates on immutable data, relies on stateless event-driven methods, and eschews cross-module dependencies and transition rules. As such, it is well-suited for developing the lightweight microservices […]
