Crafting Lambda Functions in Rust (e-book)

Supercharge Your Serverless AWS Applications with Rust: Build Efficient, Cost-Effective Lambdas Today! (Early Access)

Tired of bloated serverless applications and runaway AWS bills? Discover the power of Rust for building lightning-fast, sustainable, and cost-optimized AWS Lambda functions!

This is your practical guide to crafting high-performance serverless solutions using the Rust programming language. We'll take you from zero to hero, showing you how to leverage Rust's speed and safety to build Lambdas that outperform the competition and slash your cloud costs.

What You'll Learn

• Build Efficient Lambdas: Reduce cold starts, minimize resource consumption, and optimize for peak performance.
• Design Complete Serverless Architectures: Integrate Lambdas with API Gateway, EventBridge, DynamoDB, and other AWS services using Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
• Master Essential Tools & Practices: Learn the best tools and workflows for building, testing, and deploying production-ready Rust Lambdas.
• Hands-on Code Examples: Learn by doing with practical, realistic code examples that you can adapt for your own projects.
• Cost Optimization: Implement strategies to drastically reduce your AWS Lambda costs without sacrificing performance.
• Sustainability: Build green serverless applications that minimize environmental impact.
