Unlike other resources that target only programming communities, this book targets both programming and business communities. With programming models shifting more towards no-code and low-code, citizen programmers from the business side will welcome this book as a guide for how to design and optimize their information pipeline while lowering costs for infrastructure. Programmers, on the other hand, will welcome this book's business-centric programming view, which will get them a step closer to fulfilling real business requirements.

Practical Spring Cloud Function touches on the themes of portability, scalability, high performance and high availability. Each theme is explored via a real enterprise use case and code. The use cases target industries including energy (oil pipeline sensors), automotive (event-driven connected vehicles), and retail (conversational AI).

After reading this book, you'll come away with the know-how to build and deploy cloud-native Javaapplications effectively and efficiently.
