Description
What is serverless computing and how can you use it effectively to build software? In this course, Serverless Computing: The Big Picture, you will learn the foundational knowledge needed to architect serverless systems. First, you will discover what it means to be serverless, and how it compares to traditional software development. Next, you will explore the most important platforms and technologies for delivering serverless solutions. Finally, you will see examples of serverless architectures that you can implement. When you are finished with this course, you will have the knowledge needed to start designing serverless systems.

Course Overview
Hey everyone. My name is Richard Seroter, and welcome to my course, Serverless Computing: The Big Picture. I'm a vice president at Pivotal, a Microsoft MVP, and a long-time Pluralsight trainer. Is serverless the future of computing? I think it might be. Some of things we're going to learn in this course that might help you come to the same realization is we're going to define serverless computing. We're going to look at some of the constraints and challenges you may face. We'll review all the technologies you need to know. And then we'll go through a handful of example architectures so you can really see what this means. By the end of this course, you'll know what serverless computing means, why it matters, and why it's different than what came before it. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn about serverless computing with this big picture course here, at Pluralsight.
