I help clients go faster for less using serverless technologies.

Hi everyone, just a quick note to let you know that I’m running a live online course with O’Reilly on designing serverless architectures with AWS Lambda.

It’s a 2-day course on September 11-12th with 6 hours in total, and it’s available for free if you have a subscription with SafariBooksOnline. Registration for the course is open till September 7th, so if there are still spaces available then you can even sign up for a free 10-day trial on SafariBooksOnline just before registration closes and get the course for free.

The course will cover a variety of topics over the two days:

  • AWS Lambda basics
  • the Serverless framework
  • testing strategies
  • CI/CD
  • centralised logging
  • distributed tracing
  • monitoring
  • performance considerations including cold starts
  • config management
  • Lambda in VPC
