What is the Mid-Market Serverless Adoption Programs course about?
Mid-market organizations are adopting serverless architectures faster than their audit functions can keep up. Without dedicated adoption programs, teams face inconsistent controls, compliance gaps, and reactive audit responses. This creates friction between innovation and compliance, slowing down delivery and increasing operational risk.
