With AWS Lambda to Multicloud
In the future, many companies will try to grow their IT infrastructure with the help of the cloud or even move it completely to the cloud. Larger enterprises often call for multicloud. In terms of serverless, there are a few ways to achieve multicloud operation. Using AWS Lambda, a function can be made available and the whole thing can be made cloud-independent with Knative.

Serverless Java: Reduce Infrastructure Overhead
Java is still the first choice when it comes to software development for business use [1]. However, the development of Java software alone is not enough: machines, operating systems, JREs, application servers, etc. are required for productive use - and large frameworks and libraries are also required as the basis for code functionality. This overhead hurts more the simpler the required functionality is, because it makes development, testing, and operation more difficult. The alternative concept: Serverless.

Serverless Microservices using Azure examples
Why does it have to be "Serverless or Microservices"? It should be "Microservices with Serverless"! Based on some of the generally accepted principles of microservices, we can use serverless architectures and technologies to build highly focused microservices. Let's take a pragmatic and concise approach to building microservices with Azure Functions, Azure Service Bus, Azure Storage, and other services and tools. And it works for almost all software developers: Java, .NET, Node.js, and even Python.

4 Tips for Solving Lambda Performance Issues
AWS Lambda provides serverless computing in the form of functions as a service (FaaS). This means you can leverage on-demand infrastructure without the need for provisioning and hardware maintenance. Overall, Lambda is a great service for real-time data processing and backends. However, to achieve optimal performance you need to do some troubleshooting. In this article, you will learn how to improve cold start performance, implement efficient monitoring and logging, debug functions, and avoid timeouts.
