Hello! 👋 Are you a frontend engineer diving into backend? Do you have just that one bit of code that can't run in the browser? Something that deals with secrets and APIs? That's what cloud functions are for my friend. You take a JavaScript function, run it on serverless, get a URL, and voila. But that's easy mode. Any tutorial can teach you that. What happens when you wanna build a real backend? When you want to understand what's going on? Have opinions on REST vs GraphQL, NoSQL vs. SQL, databases, queues, talk about performance, cost, data processing, deployment strategies, developer experience? A friend asked me today: "Why the heck did you write this?" > I feel like frontend engineers want to more broadly understand backend and serverless is a good way to get started > remember this isn’t for people who already understand traditional backends super well, it’s for folks who don’t. Because every other friggin’ resource about serverless assumes you have 20 years of backend experience Serverless is hard to get into, if you're a backend beginner. Everyone assumes you already know what's up or just need a tiny mindset shift from Java Enterprise. This is the book I wish I had :)
