PAUL SWAIL | How To Navigate Serverless Best Practices

Listen on

Episode notes

I am excited to launch a brand new podcast! In each episode, I will be chatting with someone who has had an impact on me and the broader serverless community. The very first episode could not have had a better guest than Paul Swail. I hope you will consider subscribing to his newsletter where he shares invaluable serverless wisdom from years of hard-earned experience.

Welcome to the very first episode of The Serverless Mindset podcast!

In this episode, I chat with Paul Swail, an independent serverless consultant based out of Belfast, in the UK, on how to best navigate serverless best practices.

Show highlights

Best practices should be thought of as rules of thumb: they should be followed but it’s ok not to follow them if you have a good reason not to

Context is key: who, what, and why was a best practice created? This is crucial, since it may not apply in your specific context

Serverless is a radically different paradigm, so we are justified in not taking previously accepted best practices for granted
