What problem does it solve?

Managing infrastructure for bursty or event-driven workloads can be complex and costly. This skill guides you in building serverless/Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) systems to minimize infrastructure management and pay-per-execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Function Identification: Break workloads into stateless handlers triggered by events (HTTP, queues, schedules).
• Externalized State: Use managed databases/queues and design idempotent handlers.
• Cold-Start Mitigation: Strategies for slim dependencies, provisioned concurrency, or warmers.
• Automated Deployment: Use Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) templates for repeatable releases.
• Use Case: Develop a backend for a mobile application where user requests trigger stateless functions, automatically scaling to handle spiky traffic without managing servers, and paying only for actual execution time.

Quick Start

Identify stateless functions in your workload that can be triggered by events (e.g., HTTP requests, queue messages).
