RETHINKING SERVERLESS WITH FLAME

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

While serverless architecture makes scaling easier, it also introduces complexities that can overcomplicate things and make it harder to develop, test, and deploy software. The FLAME pattern, Fleeting Lambda Application for Modular Execution, aims to fix these problems by treating entire applications like a lambda, executing modular parts in short-lived architecture. This article breaks down exactly how the FLAME pattern works and shows what it looks like in practice paired with an Elixir backend.
