Serverless has become an increasingly popular paradigm among organizations looking to modernize their applications as it allows them to increase agility while reducing their operational overhead and costs. But the highly distributed nature of serverless architectures requires developers to rethink their approach to application design and development. AWS-based serverless applications hinge on AWS Lambda functions, which are stateless and ephemeral by design.
In part 1 of this series, we looked at common design principles and patterns for assembling microservices in serverless environments. But when it comes to building serverless applications, designing your architecture is only part of the challenge. You also have to ensure that each of your individual functions and services are secure, reliable, and highly performant—without incurring enormous costs.
Social media conglomerate Meta is the latest tech company to build an “AI supercomputer” — a high-speed computer designed specifically to train machine learning systems.

When I joined SUSE, I started testing Rancher, Rancher Desktop, K3s, k3d and RKE2 and I had a great time with them. First things first, I will
