Listen now (17 min) | Welcome to the very first episode of The Serverless Mindset podcast! In this episode, I chat with Paul Swail, an independent serverless consultant based out of Belfast, in the UK, on how to best navigate serverless best practices.  SHOW HIGHLIGHTS * Best practices should be thought of as rules of thumb: they should be followed but it’s ok not to follow them if you have a good reason not to * Context is key: who, what, and why was a best practice created? This is crucial, since it may not apply in your specific context * Serverless is a radically different paradigm, so we are justified in not taking previously accepted best practices for granted
