Microservices – The FAAS and the Furious
summary
Argues that you can keep a site static and offload dynamic bits to single-purpose services: use Netlify builds triggered by webhooks (IFTTT) to pull in Twitter or CMS content, route URLs with an _redirects file to proxy requests, and run on-demand image generation or DB work in AWS Lambda or alternatives (Serverless, webtask, stdlib). Demonstrates a campaign poster flow where the static site serves UI and functions generate and return unique posters, reducing ops and letting the site behave dynamically.
