Your team can focus solely on your application while the cloud provider manages the servers you need. This practical guide shows you step--step how to build and deploy complex applications in a flexible multicloud, multilanguage environment using Apache OpenWhisk. Youll learn how this platform enables you to pursue a vendor-independent approach using preconfigured containers, microservices, and Kubernetes as your cloud operating system.'-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 13px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 6px 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);'Michele Sciabarrà demonstrates how to build a serverless application using classical design patterns and the programming language or languages that best fit your task. Youll start building a simple serverless application hands-on before diving into the more complex aspects of the OpenWhisk platform.
