When and why to use Serverless

What is Serverless?

Serverless is a computing architecture where the service provider is responsible for managing the underlying servers and the infrastructure needed to run the application code, allowing the developer to focus on writing code. In a serverless environment, developers write and deploy code snippets that run in response to specific events, such as an HTTP request or an action in a database.

Advantages of using Serverless

1. Lower costs: by paying only for actual resource usage, developers can significantly reduce infrastructure-related costs.
2. Automatic scalability: service providers manage scalability, allowing developers to focus on creating specific functionalities without worrying about underlying infrastructure.
3. Greater agility: developers can create and deploy features more quickly, gaining agility in software development and delivery.
