Deploy to Vercel in 2026: zero-config Next.js deployment, environment variables, edge functions, preview deployments, custom domains, Vercel Analytics, and the Vercel CLI.
Build serverless applications in 2026: AWS Lambda with TypeScript, Cloudflare Workers at the edge, Vercel Edge Functions, event-driven patterns, cold starts, and when serverless makes sense.
Deploy serverless functions with AWS Lambda: deployment, triggers, and best practices.
Deploy containerized apps on Azure Container Apps: managed services and scaling.
Your serverless function takes 3-4 seconds on the first request, then 50ms on subsequent ones. This is cold start latency — and it''s the #1 complaint about serverless architectures. Here''s what causes it, how to measure it, and exactly how to minimize it.
Scale Kubernetes workloads based on queue depth, Kafka lag, cron schedules, and custom metrics. Master KEDA architecture, combine with HPA, and optimize for cold starts and production reliability.
Neon separates compute from storage, enabling scale-to-zero and instant database branching. Explore architecture, edge compatibility, and preview environment workflows.
Explore Neon''s serverless PostgreSQL: git-like branching for preview environments, scale-to-zero cold starts, connection pooling, point-in-time restore, comparison with PlanetScale and Supabase, cost analysis.
Optimize Lambda cold starts, implement idempotent handlers, integrate with SQS, and understand when serverless costs more than traditional compute.
Upstash brings Redis, Kafka, and QStash to serverless. Per-request pricing, no idle cost, perfect for Vercel, Netlify, and event-driven apps at scale.
