The serverless architecture takes away the burden of maintaining the server at the expense of degraded latency on the initial invocation of the service. Why? The cloud provider provisions the server on-demand when the service is invoked unless there were previous invocations of the same service.
It's also worth noting that serverless architecture is usually billed by the time of code execution. So, computationally expensive operations on serverless architecture might not be the best choice.
What's Serverless?
Good work as usual Justin. Thanks man!
Thanks - this was very helpful for a non-technie like me.
Is serverless related to microservices and how?
Great post!
