Getting started with Serverless Framework and Node.js

Serverless is a cloud computing execution model where the cloud provider dynamically manages the allocation and provisioning of servers. A serverless application runs in stateless compute containers that are event-triggered, ephemeral (may last for one invocation), and fully managed by the cloud provider. Pricing is based on the number of executions rather than pre-purchased compute capacity, isn’t it the ideal framework for that project you have been planning since a long time? Well, go ahead do it.

Serverless applications are event-driven cloud-based systems where application development rely solely on a combination of third-party services, client-side logic and cloud-hosted remote procedure calls (Functions as a Service).

Most of the cloud providers have invested heavily in serverless and thats a lot of money; with the given massive promotion and realistic offering you can safely assume serverless to be one of the most used cloud services in upcoming years. Here are some of the currently available cloud services:

AWS Lambda

Google Cloud Functions

Azure Functions

IBM OpenWhisk

Alibaba Function Compute

Iron Functions

Auth0 Webtask

Oracle Fn Project

Kubeless

Hey Heider... I like the way you explain things, but something I'd love to see in your videos is what you are talking about, what you will teach, why this or that tool, some concept and briefing before get into the mess... what is this serverless? why do I need to use? what problems it will help me to solve? what background do I need to have before use it?

A brief explanation about these things would help us a lot before watch the video =).. .what you think?? =)
