I recently wrote an article called Hello Little Lambda which explained what Serverless Lambdas are and how to create them using the Amazon Web Services console. While it’s great that humans can create that a new Lambdas can be made using the AWS console, there are some significant advantages that can be gained from using code to create your Serverless Lambdas for you. When your Lambdas are created by code, they will always be created in the same predictable way, making their configuration less error prone.

What is Serverless? A Serverless Lambda is essentially code, written by you, which a cloud provider like Amazon or Google will run for you. Your code gets run on a cloud providers servers on demand, as and when it is needed. The benefit of having someone else run your code for you is that there is no need to worry about paying for idle servers, managing servers, keeping servers secure, upgrading servers, ensuring servers have capacity and a whole plethora of other issues.

I used to write regularly. I haven’t written for over two years. I need to fix that. I purchased this domain, gathered up all my old stuff and moved it here. New site built (with Hugo & Netlify) and after much tweeking and adjusting I am happy with my creation. I feel ready to start writing again… Hey Rosie! What Happened? So much has happened since I last blogged, it is beyond crazy.
