8 1/2 things about serverless (with Node.js)
summary
Explains that serverless means event‑driven functions running on managed platforms (AWS Lambda + API Gateway + S3 + CloudWatch + X‑Ray) and gives concrete limits and costs: 20¢ per 1M requests with first million free, 128 MB default up to 1.5 GB, 300s max execution, 500 MB /tmp, 1,000 concurrency by default. Shows Node.js fits (fast cold start, small modules), demos a Chuck‑Norris jokes API and a tank workshop, uses deployment tools Claudia.js / Serverless / Apex and confirms prototypes and chatbots deploy and scale in practice.
