Building Serverless Microservices in Python

Over the last few years, there has been a massive shift from monolithic architecture to microservices, thanks to their small and independent deployments that allow increased flexibility and agile delivery. Traditionally, virtual machines and containers were the principal mediums for deploying microservices, but they involved a lot of operational effort, configuration, and maintenance. More recently, serverless computing has gained popularity due to its built-in autoscaling abilities, reduced operational costs, and increased productivity.

Building Serverless Microservices in Python begins by introducing you to serverless microservice structures. You will then learn how to create your first serverless data API and test your microservice. Moving on, you'll delve into data management and work with serverless patterns. Finally, the book introduces you to the importance of securing microservices.

By the end of the book, you will have gained the skills you need to combine microservices with serverless computing, making their deployment much easier thanks to the cloud provider managing the servers and capacity planning.

meta description
A practical guide for developing end-to-end serverless microservices in Python for developers, DevOps, and architects.
short description
Here we show how an end-to-end serverless application can be built at scale in a production environment with a few lines of Python configuration. We show you how to set up, configure and create different parts of the stack, including using the AWS Management Console and AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM). We also provide Python code, which can be tweaked for your organization's requirements.
