Serverless as a Game Changer: How to Get the Most Out of the Cloud

Emison has written the definitive guide to leveraging "serverless" for maximum customer value. He reveals why "mindset" is so crucial to modern IT strategy, explains why and how to move towards a truly serverless mindset, and walks through the creation of a real-world serverless enterprise.

Emison concludes with an exclusive directory of current managed services that enable the serverless mindset, with focused descriptions of each service, and concise explanations of its role in modern application architecture. Many of these offerings are unfamiliar to enterprise architects—but they're working in production, and can radically simplify any serverless transition.
