The document discusses serverless architecture patterns. It outlines some core principles of serverless including using functions as the unit of deployment, automatic scaling per request, keeping functions stateless, and designing functions to do a single task. The document then lists several key patterns for serverless applications on AWS and Azure, including for web applications, batch processing, stream processing, event-driven automation, and more. Links are provided to slideshows with further information on these patterns.

2. Serverless: Core Principles
❖ Functions are the unit of deployment and scale
❖ Scales per request—users cannot over or under-provision
❖ Use serverless to solve specific problems, not every application can
be written as serverless.
❖ Keep your Functions Stateless – use cloud storage for WIP state
❖ Functions should:
❖ “Do One Thing”
❖ Be Idempotent
❖ Finish as fast as possible
“Rethink your application as an orchestra of
independent functions”
