Not only that, serverless applications are more scalable, secure and maintainable – all with much less code. Serverless is the future of development and you should get ready for it. But what does it mean to be a serverless developer? What do you need to understand before jumping into the serverless pool?

Honestly, Rookout and Sentry integrating is just kismet.
