Serverless Design Patterns

• Serverless Microservice Patterns

Additional Information: Sources &Links

• Deployments & Going Live

  • Cloudformation (production deployment / partial deployment)
  • an AWS CodePipeline, AWS CodeBuild, AWS APIGateway & AWS Lambda CI
  • CodeDeploy, CodeBuild, CodePipeline
  • CI/CD (github push, automation etc.)
  • Here is an example how to CI/CD on AWS Check this presentation

• Storage Layer - Databases

  • Storage Layer -Databases RDS, NoSQL, Warehousing (when to use aurora, dynamodb or redshift)
  • Database Design and Relational Theory
  • Database Design for Mere Mortals
  • Six-Step Relational Database Design (https://medium.com/theburningmonk-com/all-my-posts-on-serverless-aws-lambda-43c17a147f91)

• Software Architecture

  • Specification by Example: How Successful Teams Deliver the Right Software
  • Domain Driven Design Patterns - Evans

• Migration from Monolith to Serverless

  • How to Migrate Existing Monoliths to Serverless

• Computer Science Basics

  • Teach Yourself Computer Science
  • Open Source Society University
  • Systems analysis and design
    • Data Flow Diagram Overview
  • Base CS - Exploring the basics of computer science, every Monday, for a year.
  • Algorithms and Data Structures
  • Algorithms and data structures implemented in JavaScript

  • Design and Analysis of Algorithms (MIT Open Course)
  • Computer Networks and the Internet
  • Algorithms & Data Structure

• Coding & Patterns

  • Read code of open source projects such as React, Vue.js, Express - code quality of such a projects should be very good (many reviewers and clean code). Also Spectrum was recommended
  • Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software
  • SOLID need to find some good resources
  • Hexagon
  • Writing portable serverless applications

• Book Collection & Recommendations

  • Why do I need to read this book? If I want to understand how to think in terms of underlying technology vs. abstractions (Cloudformation vs. AWS SAM) Code Complete: A Practical Handbook of Software Construction
  • Why do I need to read this book? I need to learn to think like a real programmer Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship
  • Why do I need to read this book? Get some basic understanding about OS The Unix Programming Environment
  • Why do I need to read this book? see above The Art of Unix Programming
