In the previous issue we (or just me?) learned about a serverless React application and deployed it into Netlify. Today we will learn how to make the serverless apps stateful.
One new thing to learn this week - Database and serverless functions!
Here is an overview of databases for serverless functions.
I extended the simple serverless app, which I had created earlier this month, to connect to Supabase database. This was my first time using Backend as a service and I chose Supabase.
I followed this tutorial post to read and save items using Supabase.
Three questions to ponder
- Why is it important to make serverless functions stateful? What happens if serverless functions are stateless?
- What problems do “Database as a service” providers solve as opposed to traditional databases? When did “Database as a service” come into practice?
- How is the serverless architecture?
Join our slack channel and we can ponder over these questions together: https://join.slack.com/t/womenwhocodefrontend/shared_invite/zt-gaic5y90-pDJK4H_NbObZ_MU_rcYc0A
