From Your Workstation to Production: The Serverless Development Lifecycle

on YouTube ↗40m

" summary

Covers concrete practices: use TypeScript to catch missing returns and bad SDK calls before runtime, prefer libraries with .d.ts types (chalk over colors), structure Cloud Functions so logic is testable and run via HTTP triggers, gate deploys with CI and predeploy hooks in Cloud Build, use the rebuild button to rollback a bad deploy in minutes, and monitor with Stackdriver Logging, Error Reporting, and Monitoring for invocation IDs, alerts, and cost forecasting tied to actual CPU and execution metrics.
