A Serverless State of Mind
summary
Claims that "serverless" is a mindset get tested by concrete work: building a webhook, an A/B email trigger and a language‑translation app deployed through Stackery, using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3 and AWS Translate, plus Node and OAuth refresh tokens. A hackathon project wins the grand prize, deployments fail then get fixed, and a surprising constraint—Translate limits to 5,000 bytes—forces redesign. The takeaway is actionable: what was built, which tools were used, what broke, and what actually runs.
