Great question! I've been using serverless architecture for a while now and I've found that proper monitoring and observability are crucial. Tools like AWS X-Ray or Distributed Tracing can help you understand the entire flow of requests in a distributed system.

@user1 I completely agree with your point about monitoring. I would also add proper CI/CD pipelines to ensure that changes to the codebase are thoroughly tested before being deployed.

One thing I've learned is that managing state in a serverless architecture can be tricky. Using tools like AWS S3 or DynamoDB can help with that, but it's important to design your data schema carefully to ensure good performance.

@user3 I've found using AWS Step Functions to manage state in a serverless architecture can be very helpful. It allows me to define visual workflows and manage state in a highly event-driven architecture.

One of the best practices I've found is to keep functions small and focused on doing one thing well. This makes them easier to test, debug, and maintain.

@user5 Absolutely, I've found that focusing on creating single-purpose functions makes it easier to reason about my codebase and avoid spaghetti code. It also makes debugging easier when you have a well-defined function boundary.
