Large files can play well with AWS Lambda

Serverless computing is about functions that run fast and return small responses. On the other hand, files can be arbitrarily large, and sending them through ephemeral functions can easily hit a limit of the runtime.

This is the problem signed URLs solve.

Learn how to implement a serverless-friendly, robust, and secure solution to handle files using signed URLs.

I'm a software developer focusing mostly on cloud computing and web technologies. I'm especially interested in how to handle edge cases to end up with dependable software.

Writing serverless apps brings a lot of faschinating problems that require insight into several components to solve properly. One of the first for me was how to handle files and that turned out to be a surprisingly deep topic. This book aims to provide a complete overview of the pros and cons of the available tools and approaches so you can choose the best one according to your needs.

FAQ
When will the book be finished?

There is no fixed finish date. I take advantage of the fact that there is no publisher that imposes deadlines as I'm self-publishing the book.

My goal with the book is to provide useful content. That means I will keep adding chapters that I think are important and refactor the existing ones, and don't commit to a deadline.

For a list of topics I plan to include, check the table of contents.

Why should I buy it before it's finished?

Buying now means you'll get the book earlier and cheaper and receive all future updates and extras.

Is the book updated?

Check the updates page.

Is there a team license?

Contact me with your requirements and we'll figure something out: tamas.sallai@advancedweb.hu
