Serverless computing with AWS Lambda
Light Work
Endless
No doubt you'll be using serverless technologies more and more in the future. However, a few gotchas that introduce security risks still need some attention. Sadly, they don't magically disappear when using an abstracted platform, as some would hope. That said, I hope you can see the benefits of such abstraction, in terms of operational overhead and running costs. It's safe to say that with some basic scripting skills, serverless technology makes light work of numerous tasks.
