How to Get Started with Server-less on Google, Amazon & Microsoft
summary
Compares concrete setups and what actually worked: a CRUD template implemented on API Gateway + Lambda + DynamoDB, on HTTP trigger + Cosmos DB, and on Cloud Functions + Firestore; uses SAM to generate CloudFormation, func tooling for Azure, and Google samples; tests with pytest, VCR, and mocked DB calls; deploys via CodePipeline/Azure DevOps or mirrored Google repo; hits problems: opaque error messages, AWS phone verification delay, Azure Python beta issues; overall ~80 hours to build, deploy, test and automate reproducible environments.
