Serverless Options for Geospatial
In this chapter, we will talk about what serverless is, provide an overview of common services used in serverless architectures, and see how this all relates to geospatial data and service hosting. We will finish the chapter with a walk-through of deploying a serverless geospatial app as a static hosted website on Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3).
