COURSE OVERVIEW

Welcome to AI Serverless Functions: From Local to Production

Build, deploy, and operate serverless functions with AI assistants across Cloudflare Workers, Vercel, and AWS Lambda. From local dev to production traffic.

What You Will Learn

By the end of this course you will be able to apply the concepts and tools covered across every lesson to real-world projects. Each lesson builds on the last and produces a practical, evergreen outcome you can reuse immediately.

Full Course Breakdown

LESSON 2
Serverless Fundamentals: What You Get and What You Give Up
The mental model for functions-as-a-service. Cold starts, execution limits, billing, and the tradeoffs vs. containers.
LESSON 3
Your First Worker: Hello World to JSON API
Deploy a Cloudflare Worker and a Vercel function from scratch. Local dev, hot reload, environment variables, and logs.
LESSON 4
Routing, Middleware, and Request Validation with Hono
Build a real API framework-style with Hono. Routing, middleware, zod validation, and error handling that works on every serverless platform.
LESSON 5
State in a Stateless World: KV, D1, R2, and Durable Objects
How to persist data when your function dies after each request. Covers key-value stores, SQL on the edge, object storage, and long-lived objects.
LESSON 6
Debugging Serverless with AI: Logs, Traces, and Replay
When your function fails at 3am, how do you debug it without a local process? Covers log streaming, tracing, and AI-assisted log analysis.
LESSON 7
Queues, Cron, and Background Jobs
Serverless patterns for async work: Cloudflare Queues, Vercel Cron, AWS EventBridge. When to fire-and-forget vs. retry with backoff.
LESSON 8
Production Hardening: Rate Limits, Auth, and Observability
The last 20% before going live: authentication, rate limiting with Durable Objects, monitoring, and cost alerts so you are not surprised.

Who This Course Is For

  • Full-stack engineers moving from monoliths to serverless
  • Backend engineers adding edge functions to existing apps
  • Indie hackers who want low-ops deployment
  • Platform engineers evaluating serverless providers

What Makes This Course Different

  • Covers three major platforms side by side, not just one
  • Practical AI-assisted workflows for debugging cold starts and timeouts
  • Real production patterns: queuing, durable objects, cron, streaming
  • Evergreen skills that transfer across providers
