Serverless Literacy (Beginner Level)
- 20m
- 20 questions
The Serverless Literacy benchmark measures whether a learner has had some exposure to Serverless practice and processes. A learner who scores high on this benchmark demonstrates literacy in all areas of the Serverless discipline, can participate in Serverless discussions, and recognize the advice of more advanced Serverless practitioners.
Topics covered
- define the concept of FaaS and recall programming models that help developers in selecting serverless architecture and runtime
- describe steps and considerations involved in migrating from an existing service to serverless
- describe technology evolution and benefits of the serverless mindset
