Show HN: I wrote a book about using Lambda with Go
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 over and over — especially things like performance, testing and monitoring. Since this knowledge turned out to be very useful for our team, I decided to gather it into a book that will hopefully also be useful to others.
This is my first time putting something like this together, so I'm grateful for any feedback!

There's also a link on that page to a free sample that you can download without registering.
Thanks!
