| Serverless technology offers an attractive proposition: it frees
| us from much of the administration work we've worried about in the
| past, giving us more time to focus on building great software. But
| there's a lot of hype around the technology too. In this video
| series, microservices expert Sam Newman explains what serverless
| is, dives into the details of the features it provides, highlights
| its challenges, and shares his insights on how to get the best out
| of it. You'll come away with a concrete understanding of how to
| use serverless technology to implement microservice architecture
| and how to best integrate serverless into your existing
| applications.

Understand what serverless means, the concepts that make it
| valuable, and its use cases
Discover the different types of serverless products and how
| they're used
Learn about function as a service, backend as a service, and
| messaging and storage platforms
Explore challenges that come with BAAS and FAAS (e.g., vendor
| lock-in, performance, and security)
See how concepts from microservices map onto a serverless
| world
