Here is what folks are saying about us

  • I just completed your tutorial on the Serverless stack, and it was fantastic. It was carefully thought out, well-written, and incredibly thorough. You guys rock!

    ‒ Chris Deery, Architect at QuickBase

  • This is the best and most comprehensive fullstack serverless tutorial available. Take the time to go through every step, you will learn a ton!

    ‒ Marcus Molchany, Engineer at Fullscreen

  • Rarely do tutorials neatly break things down into bite-sized steps. Even rarer do they clearly explain what each step is for and why it is necessary. The Serverless-Stack is the Holy Grail that does all three.

    ‒ Allison Yaeger, Independent UX Architect

  • I think this is the best tech tutorial I've read in the last 20 years. It's detailed, well-written, covers a multitude of the latest technologies, and the layout of each chapter makes the subject matter easy to digest. Cheers!
