Grow, not Build, Your Serverless Team!
In my recent article “Serverless is for everyone!”, I talked about why serverless is suitable for both the start-ups and the enterprises alike. In that, I highlighted a few attitude challenges that often hinder an enterprise’s serverless adoption. One common theme that I have observed from people in the industry is that, organisations with no in-house serverless expertise often struggle to make a start. In this blog, I am discussing a way to overcome such starting hurdles, and a few tips to make the serverless adoption a rewarding experience!
“The swiftest way to grow a company is to grow its people” — I once read in a book. People are the most valuable commodity of an organisation. There are standards, training and accreditation that help a company to invest and grow its people. Many successful organisations are proud of their achievements in growing their people.
To be successful, the people’s growth must be reflected across all the levels and in every activity that happens within an organisation. In spite of all these efforts, when it comes to forming a new team for a new initiative, the growth idea often goes out of the way and we embark upon quickly building a team. Here, I am offering a different perspective, with reasons as to why growing a team can be beneficial for an organisation adopting serverless.
