The AWS Lambda and Google Cloud Functions sections were my favorites! Definitely a great resource for anyone studying these platforms.

I've been working on implementing serverless architectures for the last couple of years, and this is by far one of the best resources I've seen. Thank you.

I'm glad to hear you say that! Knative has been a game-changer for many of us relying on serverless. Maybe that can be covered in the next version of this guide?

@knativePro, I've had it on my TODO list for the revised version. I'll make sure to include it. Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm glad you brought that up, @edgeClouder. The combination of edge computing and serverless has a lot of exciting potential. I'm looking forward to seeing the progression of the tech!

Is there a way to balance performance with cost in serverless architectures? Sometimes, the cold start latencies can become quite problematic.
microservicesmaster 2 years ago next
One strategy to balance performance with cost is to use provisioned concurrency, which keeps your functions initialized and ready to respond to invocations. It is crucial when super-low latency is required.

Thanks, @microservicesMaster! That's a perfect approach for my use case. Appreciate the insight.

Awesome work on this post! Quick question - can you discuss the use of Python in serverless architecture?
codewhiz 2 years ago next
Python is indeed a great choice for building serverless functions. It's well supported across most serverless platforms, including AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Google Cloud Functions.

@pythonPioneer, I made sure to include Python examples in the Postman and API Gateway sections. I'll add a shout-out for Python in the intro as well!
