Server-Driven Web Apps with htmx
by R. Mark Volkmannhtmx is a library that adds logic and server interaction to HTML; you get the effect of using a front-end SPA framework without writing front-end code. Use any server-side programming language and framework to build server applications with endpoints that simply return snippets of HTML. Dynamically update portions of the current web page from HTTP responses. Add interactivity with JavaScript and libraries such Alpine and _hyperscript. Make your apps more secure by escaping user-supplied content and specifying a Content Security Policy. Go beyond basic HTTP requests with WebSockets and server-sent events. The htmx JavaScript library gives you a new way to craft web applications. The htmx approach differs significantly from that of the currently popular single-page application (SPA) frameworks; rather than write a bunch of JavaScript, you simply annotate HTML elements before you send them to the browser. The resulting code is easier to understand and modify, and because it downloads less to the browser and doesn't need JSON creation and parsing, you'll find it performs better, too. Rethink web application design; write code in any language that simply responds to requests with htmx snippets.Dynamically update portions of the current web page directly from the server.Implement common patterns such as lazy loading, input validation, CSS transitions, active search, optimistic updates, pagination, infinite scroll, polling, and click-to-edit.Add interactivity with JavaScript and libraries such as Alpine and _hyperscript.Use the htmx JavaScript API to simplify DOM operations.Make your web apps more secure: escape user-supplied content, use Subresource Integrity hashes, and enforce a Content Security Policy.Go beyond the basic HTTP request/response pattern with WebSockets and server-sent events.Discover a simpler way to implement web applications that emphasizes web fundamentals.What You Need:A modern web browser and the ability to build and run a local HTTP server using the server-side language and framework of your choice.The code examples are fully compatible with htmx 2.0.

Serverless Apps on Cloudflare
by Ashley PeacockUse serverless technologies to build applications that scale, more quickly and easily, and without worrying about deployment. Whether you're writing an API, a full-stack app, or real-time code, harness the power of serverless on Cloudflare's platform so you can focus on what you do best: delivering solutions. With hands-on instruction and code samples throughout, you'll go from building a simple API to analyzing images with AI. And, when it's time to launch, you'll learn how to deploy your applications and websites automatically, and how to optimize their performance for production. For decades, applications have been built and deployed in a similar way: you write code, provision a server, and upload your code. Over the years, you've graduated from FTP or SSH to Docker and Kubernetes, but fundamentally you've just switched from owning to renting; you're paying 24/7 for the server hosting your app. Serverless technologies change that model. With serverless, you focus on writing code, and not how it's deployed. You only pay for when your application code is executed, rather than paying for idle servers. In this book we'll use Cloudflare, which was built from the ground up to be a serverless platform, but the same concepts apply to every serverless provider. With this book, you'll learn a better way to build applications, and you'll see improved productivity and ease of deployment. From secrets to dependencies, such as databases and caches, Cloudflare has revolutionized how to build applications, and has made building applications easier and more fun. As you go through the book, you'll learn in detail what serverless is, how it functions behind the scenes, and how to build serverless applications on Cloudflare. When you finish this book, you'll understand how to think in terms of serverless functions, and you'll have the experience of deploying and extending these apps as you work through the examples.

Serverless Computing: Principles and Paradigms (Lecture Notes on Data Engineering and Communications Technologies #162)
by Rajkumar Buyya Rajalakshmi Krishnamurthi Adarsh Kumar Sukhpal Singh GillThis book explores how advances in graphic processing units (GPUs), programmable logic devices (TPUs), and field-programmable gate arrays have altered the serverless computing landscape (FPGAs). Distributed system architectures and implementations have undergone significant changes due to the popularity of serverless computing. Making and releasing product applications, doing market research, and maintaining customer interactions might all benefit from the reduced infrastructure expenses made possible by serverless computing. This book is a great resource for teachers and students interested in learning more about serverless computing. Some of the main questions surrounding serverless technology, such as scalability and performance distribution, are answered.

Serverless Web Applications with React and Firebase: Develop real-time applications for web and mobile platforms
by Harmeet Singh Mayur TannaBuild rich and collaborative applications using client-side code with React, Redux, and FirebaseKey Features1) A practical guide covering the full stack for web development with React 16 and Firebase2) Leverage the power of Firebase Cloud Storage, messaging, functions, OAuth, and database security to develop serverless web applications.3) Develop high-performance applications without the hassle of setting up complex web infrastructure.Book DescriptionReactJS is a wonderful framework for UI development. Firebase as a backend with React is a great choice as it is easy, powerful, and provides great developer experience. It removes a lot of boilerplate code from your app and allows you to focus on your app to get it out quickly to users. Firebase with React is also a good choice for Most Viable Product (MVP) development.This book provides more practical insights rather than just theoretical concepts and includes basic to advanced examples – from hello world to a real-time seat booking app and Helpdesk applicationThis book will cover the essentials of Firebase and React.js and will take you on a fast-paced journey through building real-time applications with Firebase features such as Cloud Storage, Cloud Function, Hosting and the Realtime Database.
