For many companies, the journey to modern cloud applications starts with serverless. Amazon Web Services (AWS), offers a wide range of serverless solutions. To get a better understanding of AWS serverless, we’ll first explore the basics of serverless architectures, review AWS serverless offerings, and explore common use cases.

Regardless of whether the computing platform to be evaluated is on-prem, containerized, virtualized, or in the cloud, it is crucial to consider several essential factors. There are many times we get asked why some cloud instance performed poorly for their database application and almost always turned out to be some configuration error.
