How to Secure Frontend Code by Moving to Serverless Cloud

We look at a modern approach to securely moving frontend code to the cloud using a serverless approach, walking step-by-step through two examples.

Frontend code is inherently insecure. Yes, you can mangle your code with something like UglifyJS, or use more a more advanced obfuscation tool like Jscrambler, but at the end of the day, the public nature of frontend code means it's accessible to nefarious users.
