Architecting AWS serverless apps? Learn how to get file handling right.

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.
