Hope everyone is safe in this somewhat troubled period. I don't know if this newsletter is useful for you as I did not get any feedback. I'll continue to do it but as serverless is a very trendy topic, I cannot cover and summarize all articles I found. So I will focus on the most interesting ones (IMHO), and exciting news. If you want more, I would recommend the weekly newsletter from Jeremy Daly, "off-by-none", or "Serverless Status". Take care! Jerome

| Why Serverless Architecture Will Be The Future Of Business Computing? | |
|
As usual, I start this newsletter with insight on serverless, and why it is the future. But I guess if you read this newsletter you are already convinced. |
| Developing a Serverless solution to detect people with masks | |
|
Covid-19 changed our lives and rules of the game have changed, you may now wear masks when leaving your home. This article describes how to use Azure functions and Azure Cognitive Services to detect people with masks on pictures. |

| How AWS Lambda team made my two years old talk completely irrelevant |
|
Things evolve really quickly, and this is even more true with the cloud. In this article, Serhat Can, come back on problems he had two years ago on Lambda and that have been solved since. If you tried Lambda few years ago and have some bad memories, have a look, you would be pleasantly surprised. |
| Xinja almost abandoned serverless backend built for Apple Pay | |
|
Xinja, an Australian neobank, built an Apple Pay solution within 6 weeks on Serverless, PCI-DSS compliant and really cost-effective. But tests revealed that it was too slow: they were using Lambda within a VPC... They almost abandon their solution, but fortunately, AWS released improved VPC networking for Lambda, which reduced their cold start from 15 seconds to about 2 seconds… |
| Let Me Help You Build Serverless Well-Architected Systems With Proven Patterns | |
|
I've already presented CDK Patterns in a previous newsletter. In this article, Matt Coulter, the main author of CDK Patterns, provides a really good approach of serverless, using the AWS Well-Architected Framework and architecture design patterns. |

| Event-Driven Microservices with Azure Functions, Event Grid and CosmosDB | |
|
I talked a lot about AWS EventBridge in previous newsletters because I really think this simplifies event-driven architectures. It's time to talk about the alternative on Azure: Event Grid. This blog post goes through a typical event-driven microservices architecture on Azure. |
| 10 Recommendations for writing pragmatic AWS Lambdas in Python | |
|
A really complete article from Jan Groth that provides best practices to implement Lambda functions. Even if it is in python, most of the recommendations are true for other languages. If you are a developer, you'll certainly like this article, and hopefully learn great stuff to apply on your code. |

| Challenging the Status Quo! Serverless Casserole — Part 2 | |
|
It's always a pleasure to read articles from Sheen Brisals, engineer at LEGO. I've previously talked about the part one of this series. And this part 2 is at least as rich as the first one, dealing with lambda error handling, dead letter queues, Lambda destinations, … |
| Reduce Lambda invocations and code boilerplate by adding a JSON Schema Validator to your API Gateway |
|
During the last meetup, I talked a lot about ways to reduce code. If you missed it, you can watch it on youtube. In this article, Davide de Paolis completes my talk and explains how to add input validation in API Gateway, thus reducing code in your lambda and even reducing lambda invocations. |
