I wrote a book about using Lambda with Go
Hi HN! During the last few years, I worked on a few applications built with Go, running on AWS Lambda. As I got to know the platform better, I started to find Go & Lambda to be a really productive combination. The applications were fast, and they ended up being much cheaper to run than what my team & I had built before. It’s probably not the best platform for _every_ application, but I was surprised at how much of our workload worked well on it. As we brought new engineers on to our team and helped them get up to speed with the stack, I found that we were covering a lot of the same topics…

In plain words
A book that teaches developers how to build applications using Go programming language with AWS Lambda serverless computing. It covers practical topics including performance optimization, testing strategies, and monitoring for engineers new to this technology stack. The author created this guide based on years of experience building fast, cost-effective applications with Go on Lambda and repeatedly teaching the same concepts to new team members.

Hey HN! I've been working on a book about WebAssembly over the last few months, and it's finally available at http://levelupwasm.com! Why a book on WebAssembly you ask? Well... WebAssembly is awesome (obviously ) but it's certainly not the easiest thing to learn. So I wrote this book as a practical intro to using WebAssembly in your web apps. I would appreciate any feedback!
