A Serverless Love Story
summary
Argues that serverless is an event-driven way to build tiny microservices, demonstrates a real Node.js Valentine bot deployed with Serverless Framework to AWS Lambda, triggered by CloudWatch cron and Twitter mentions, and shows how to scaffold, package and deploy (demo deploys on conference Wi‑Fi with intermittent failures). Compares AWS, Azure, IBM OpenWhisk and Google Cloud functions, highlights runtime choices, the cloud events standard and an event gateway shim to enable multi‑cloud portability.
