# What is Serverless September

Put simply, it's a month of content-based learning where experts and practitioners share their insights and tutorials on how to use serverless technologies effectively in today's ecosystems.

The idea of #ServerlessSeptember is almost a tradition in my team. In fact, I remember the amazing content created and shared by the broader community **last year** - you can still find it here:

## 5. Share *your* serverless stories!

Part of the value of these kinds of initiatives is the joy of discovering new members of the serverless community and learning from their insights. As Chris Nwamba said in his _Call For Contributions_ post:

> Serverless September content has always been open to everyone regardless of your experience level, choice of cloud provider, technical background, or language. 

Read his post to learn how you can contribute best:

## 6. Bonus: Banners for your dev.to posts

In case it helps, here are a few banner images that I created for the series. They are designed to be the right size for dev.to banners - feel free to use them if you want to write a dev.to article contributing to this series - and let us know either by tagging it #serverless #azure, or sharing it on Twitter with the #ServerlessSeptember tag

There's a story behind these images - and I hope to share that in a future post that I will link to here. For now - welcome and hope you have a wonderful #ServerlessSeptember
