Creating a Production-Ready Public API Using Serverless

This blog post discusses a few important considerations.

If you’re new to serverless development, I’d also suggest considering incorporating AWS’s Lambda PowerTools into your project as it provides a lot of nice observability tooling and serverless patterns you can reuses. Middy.js is a fantastic middleware solution for Node based Lambda applications, helping to remove a lot of common code in your Lambdas. There’s a layer that nicely integrates Lambda PowerTools so that additional tracing information is available.

AWS has done a lot of nice improvements with SAM pipelines. You can easily get a full CI/CD process going for a simple Lambda application in minutes. There’s a lot of exciting things happening in the serverless space. I absolutely love it.
