We got to chat with Danilo Poccia (@danilop), Global Serverless Evangelist at Amazon Web Services, on how to best leverage serverless and its new principles to speed up bringing new features to the market. We learn about Event Driven Architectures, Continuous Deployment into Production leveraging Canary and Linear Deployments as well as how to automate testing when pushing your serverless code through CI/CD. Also – did you know that you can run all your Lambda tests locally in your machine? Check out AWS SAM ( https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/serverless_app.html ) and SAM Local ( https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/sam-cli-requirements.html ) for more information.Make sure to check out Danilo’s Serverless by Design website ( https://sbd.danilop.net/ ) where it you can visually create your end-to-end serverless architecture and get a CloudFormation template to stand up this environment in your AWS account.
