The gap between the best software development teams and average software development teams is enormous. The best teams deliver delightful, scalable, stable software to users quickly and regularly. Average teams deliver acceptable software that works most of the time, with months or even years between significant improvements. And many teams struggle to deliver anything but small, iterative changes, with even those taking surprising amounts of time. Software development and cloud services and tools make developing and deploying software increasingly cheaper, faster, and better—but very few organizations take advantage of these innovations. This book will lay out the principles, strategies, and tactics that can propel your organization or teams to world-class output, by harnessing a Serverless mindset. Many serverless adopters are focusing on converting apps for AWS Lambda, but Emison's approach is more all-encompassing, and offers greater promise. Emison presents better ways to think about your tech stack, optimize build-or-buy decisions, choose the right vendor for each COTS or open-source solution, and draw on the industry's best managed services.
