Great post! Thanks. :)
Brilliant read as always Aditi
Biggest advantage is that you don't maintain the server, you just pay for them. :) Also, you can choose which vendor will lock you in it's technology stack. :p
True, serverless is much more than FaaS.
Sure, you can run your functions on the infrastructure of Amazon, Google, Microsoft or IBM, but to me it seems they are just tiny bits of glue code to use with the services that do the real work.
While you can use something like the serverless framework to abstract this FaaS stuff, the other services like S3, RDS, DynamoDB or Cognito aren't abstracted away.
Very nice article. The problem to me is that when something like this emerges, it becomes a silver bullet and everyone wants to use it everytime. I am not sure how a code can be aware of the server but I'll be looking further.
Seem interesting ! I ask myself if it's cheaper than a dedicaced as a Student.. It could be great for my final project !
Do you have any idea of that? Or if it's could be interesting in my case.
Anyway, a good lecture !
I would mention lack of readonly access to real infrastructure when debugging especially (logs) as con, and "don't care for uptime" as pros.
If you're using MS Azure Functions you can run your function on your local machine and debug it in the same way as other .Net projects with Visual Studio for instance.
I'm not sure how it looks like on other platforms.
Is it valid to think in a chatbot API implemented in a serverless fashion?
Interesting take on the whole serverless thing. I'm a little late to the game and I'm only just learning about it all now. Thanks for sharing this, food for thought.
Great article! I'd also add Google Cloud Run to your list of serverless, it's a different approach but in my view still serverless!
Thanks for sharing this, serveless is a money hero. And I was a bit surprised at the discovery that Swift run on the backend also.
Very nicely written and explained post :)
I’d definitely like to experiment with a serverless environment in the near future
