Using Golang for your Serverless projects

Xebia

In one of my previous blogs I wrote why I switched to compiled languages for my lambda functions. But using Golang for your lambda functions does add some challenges. This is because each lambda function needs to be its own module. This is now scattered over your lambda functions. files, forming its own module.

Do I really need Kubernetes?

CircleCI

A practical first step to consider when scaling an application is Test Driven Development (TDD) , which ensures quality and prevents defects as your application grows. You can even auto-scale monolithic applications using cloud services like AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Google App Engine, or Azure App Service.
