Click and deploy: Accelerating serverless service adoption

This talk will explore how to adopt serverless self-service templates for seamless CI/CD, IaC, and testing frameworks. Learn how to uphold best practices and ensure observability for effective project execution.

In this session, we'll delve into the essentials of serverless architecture, focusing on the significant benefits of self-service serverless templates for platform engineering. These templates do more than simplify development; they're built for easy integration with testing frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and observability tools while also sticking to coding best practices. A highlight of our discussion will be the 'AWS Lambda Handler Cookbook,' an open-source project that exemplifies how to create templates that support smooth automation and provide instant insights, which are critical for efficient platform engineering.

Over the past four years, CyberArk's growth from a small development team to a large-scale serverless operation showcases the effectiveness of serverless technology in scaling projects. A key to this success has been the adoption of self-service templates, which have accelerated the deployment of serverless solutions, ensuring projects are set up using best practices.

This talk will cover what makes a serverless template valuable and provide examples from the 'AWS Lambda Handler Cookbook' project. You'll come away with actionable knowledge on enhancing your serverless projects and elevating your platform engineering strategies.
