Early Praise for Serverless Single Page Apps
The software industry is the ultimate meritocracy—millions of developers individ-
ually deciding which technologies and trends lead to better, more testable code;
simpler solutions; more reliable outcomes; and less burdensome maintenance.
Ben is one of the visionaries who has looked forward, seen the future in the form
of serverless designs, and then come back to teach the rest of us how to build the
next generation of applications. Like having a software coach by your side, his
book makes serverless design patterns easy to understand and leads you naturally
into following best practices for deploying and testing.

Ben walks through just the right mix of JavaScript to build client-side logic,
Cognito for authentication and authorization, and Lambda for more sensitive
features that can’t be trusted to browsers. JavaScript developers will find new
ways to do typically server-side functions and will finish the book with a working
serverless app that costs next to nothing to run.

Your dream app will no longer be on the application server, inside of a big com-
puter stored in your company’s closet. It is on the cloud—secure, and managed
by a fleet of services with excellent uptime. Let this book start your new develop-
ment journey.

This book is a great introduction to the bleeding-edge concept of building a
serverless web application. It will take you from having zero knowledge to deploying
serverless applications.

I read a lot of technical books. This one is the best I’ve read this year, and one of
the best of all time. Ben Rady has an authorial voice that is both relaxed and as-
suring. I never get the sense that he’s bragging about his knowledge or needlessly
padding his material. He switches fluently between “here’s what we’re doing” and
“here’s why we’re doing it” without relying too heavily on one approach over the
other. His opinions and his technical choices are well founded and sound. Read
this book.
