Discover techniques and tools for building serverless applications with AWS Lambda Key Features Learn to write, run, and deploy Lambda functions in the AWS cloud Make the most of AWS Lambda functions to build scalable and cost-efficient systems A practical guide to developing serverless services and applications in Node.js, Java, Python, and C# Book Description AWS Lambda is a part of AWS that lets you run your code without provisioning or managing servers. This enables you to deploy applications and backend services that operate with no upfront cost. This book gets you up to speed on how to build scalable systems and deploy serverless applications with AWS Lambda. The book starts with the fundamental concepts of AWS Lambda, and then teaches you how to combine your applications with other AWS services, such as AmazonAPI Gateway and DynamoDB. This book will also give a quick walk through on how to use the Serverless Framework to build larger applications that can structure code or autogenerate boilerplate code that can be used to get started quickly for increased productivity. Toward the end of the book, you will learn how to write, run, and test Lambda functions using Node.js, Java, Python, and C#. What you will learn Understand the fundamental concepts of AWS Lambda Get to grips with the Serverless Framework and how to create a serverless project Testing and debugging Lambda functions Create a stateful, serverless backend with DynamoDB Program AWS Lambda with Java, Python, and C# Program a lambda function with Node.js Who this book is for This book is primarily for IT architects and developers who want to build scalable systems and deploy serverless applications with AWS Lambda. No prior knowledge of AWS is necessary.

"Practical Python Backend Programming" is a quick pragmatic book that teaches both new and experienced developers the fundamentals of backend development with Python. All sorts of developers, from Python programmers to non-Python programmers, full stack developers, and web developers, will find what they need to know to become experts in backend programming in this entire book. The book covers key topics in backend development, including how to set up stable development environments and how to use virtual environments for better dependency management. With this book, readers will have a firm grasp of Python programming with an emphasis on backend tasks by learning the language's syntax, data structures, and functions. The book teaches you to create and launch dynamic web apps by providing an in-depth look at web frameworks such as Flask and FastAPI. It teaches SQLAlchemy for efficient data handling and advanced database integration, and it shows to improve applications with databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB. Strategies for managing concurrent operations and improving performance are also covered in the book, along with asynchronous programming in Python. This book delves into various authentication methods, secure communication protocols such as HTTPS, and techniques to secure REST APIs. For efficient management of asynchronous tasks and real-time data processing, it also introduces message brokers such as RabbitMQ and Kafka. The book teaches its readers how to containerize apps and manage them on a large scale by integrating technologies like Docker and Kubernetes. It goes on to talk about how to use serverless architectures, how to use modern tools for continuous integration and deployment, and how to deploy apps to cloud platforms like AWS.

Network Programming with Go teaches you how to write clean, secure network software with the programming language designed to make it seem easy. Build simple, reliable, network software Combining the best parts of many other programming languages, Go is fast, scalable, and designed for high-performance networking and multiprocessing. In other words, it’s perfect for network programming. Network Programming with Go will help you leverage Go to write secure, readable, production-ready network code. In the early chapters, you’ll learn the basics of networking and traffic routing. Then you’ll put that knowledge to use as the book guides you through writing programs that communicate using TCP, UDP, and Unix sockets to ensure reliable data transmission. As you progress, you’ll explore higher-level network protocols like HTTP and HTTP/2 and build applications that securely interact with servers, clients, and APIs over a network using TLS. You'll also learn: Internet Protocol basics, such as the structure of IPv4 and IPv6, multicasting, DNS, and network address translation Methods of ensuring reliability in socket-level communications Ways to use handlers, middleware, and multiplexers to build capable HTTP applications with minimal code Tools for incorporating authentication and encryption into your applications using TLS Methods to serialize data for storage or transmission in Go-friendly formats like JSON, Gob, XML, and protocol buffers Ways of instrumenting your code to provide metrics about requests, errors, and more Approaches for setting up your application to run in the cloud (and reasons why you might want to) Network Programming with Go is all you’ll need to take advantage of Go’s built-in concurrency, rapid compiling, and rich standard library. Covers Go 1.15 (Backward compatible with Go 1.12 and higher)
