Acknowledgments

This book wouldn’t have been written without the encouragement, feedback, and support of my colleagues, peers, family, and friends. I’m lucky to have been surrounded by talented people who lent me their ear and gave invaluable advice and opinion.

I’m grateful to many people for helping me, but there are a few I’d like to mention by name. First and foremost, I would like to thank my editor, Toni Arritola, who made the writing of this book a great experience. Toni’s thoughtful feedback on the book’s structure, language, and narrative was extraordinarily helpful. Her attention to detail, ability to respond at all times of the day, and enthusiasm were—and remain—second to none.

Austen Collins, the creator of the Serverless Framework, made a major contribution to the book in the form of a section on the Serverless Framework. There’s no one better to write about a framework than its creator, so I’m thankful to Austen for volunteering his time and effort. I hope that everyone who reads this book—and, in particular, reads Austen’s excellent treatise—spends time learning, understanding, and adopting the Serverless Framework.
