Being Functionless: How to Develop a Serverless Mindset to Write Less Code!
Dynamic cloud services like AWS Lambda have revolutionized computing, leading to rapid deployment and innovation in serverless technology. However, over-reliance on Functions as a Service (FaaS) can create complex architectures and increase costs. Adopting a functionless mindset and leveraging native service integrations fosters simplicity, enhances sustainability, and optimizes efficiency.

How Functional Programming Can Help You Write Efficient, Elegant Web Applications
Many things can make software more challenging to understand and, consequently, to maintain. One of the most complex and problematic causes is managing internal mutable states. When the internal state is poorly managed, the software behaves unexpectedly, leading to bugs and fixing, which introduces unnecessary complexity. FP solves this problem by providing immutability mechanisms and more.
