Serverless Devs: A Developer Platform for Serverless Applications

by Shriira Press

Serverless computing promised freedom from infrastructure, but the tooling around it quietly reintroduced lock-in. Serverless Devs, the first serverless tool project in the CNCF Sandbox, closes that gap with one command-line tool, the s CLI, and one declarative manifest, s.yaml, that drive a serverless application's whole lifecycle across cloud vendors. This book starts with the problem and where the platform fits, then studies the manifest field by field, the pluggable component model that does the real work, and the registry of reusable components and ready-made applications. It walks the developer workflow command by command, shows how environments and multiple clouds are handled, and closes with the practices that make Serverless Devs dependable in production.
