The open source Serverless Framework is backed by a super smart and extensive community of developers (we've passed 18,000 stars on GitHub). Besides contributing code, our community is passionate about sharing their knowledge and expertise. Here's a roundup of some of these articles, videos, and posts to help you keep up with the news in the serverless ecosystem.
