Cold Start: Why should ops people embrace serverless?

Hi there,

Serverless DevOps: Why Serverless For Operations People

We've released a new post in our Serverless DevOps series! This time, why operations should embrace rather than fear serverless and a world where servers have gone away.

Serverless DevOps: Why Serverless For Operations People

If you haven't yet read the previous parts in the series, you're missing out! Go through them below.

Lambda Time Limit Increased to 15 Minutes

This week AWS announced Lambda functions can now run for up to 15 minutes! There are definitely workloads, even ones we've created ourselves, that can benefit from this.

Additionally, AWS has also added an "Applications" view to the AWS console. You can see all the AWS resources from your serverless application in a single view.

Expanded ServerlessOps Services

We've expanded our services offered. We now offer a specialty service designed for startups. We fill that gap in a startup's lifetime where they're debating whether or not to hire a cloud infrastructure engineer. We keep your developers focused on product features instead of DevOps work. Not serverless? Don't worry! Success and growth first, technology second.

Have a look at our recently updated services page and learn more about what we offer!

Closing

I'm Tom from ServerlessOps and we provide a range of services around DevOps transformation, AWS migration, serverless training, and startup cloud operations. See our services to learn more.

Also let us know what you think of this week's Cold Start using the 👍/👎 links at the end of this email!

Development flow for Serverless Developers

What does a typical serverless development flow look like? We find this to be a greater sticking point on individuals adopting serverless than figuring out what an AWS service does from its name.

By the way, we've had our own series on the serverless development workflow too. Plus, our AWS serverless training services focus more on workflow, process, and solving problems than just on what AWS services do.

[tutorial] awslabs/aws-devops-essential
This past week we went to a training hosted by AWS and our local Boston AWS community group on using CodeCommit, CodeDeploy, and CodePipeline. Haven't used these much before and while I still prefer GitHub to CodeCommit, CodeDeploy and CodePipeline are compelling.
