Why Serverless
Serverless Computing
Serverless computing is a cloud computing model that allows you to build and run applications without thinking
about the servers. The cloud provider provisions the resources (compute, storage, etc) on the fly and manages
the underlying hardware and exposes the resources to be consumed in a secure manner. This eliminates
infrastructure management tasks such as server or cluster provisioning, patching, operating system maintenance,
and capacity provisioning as it is handled by the cloud provider.
Top benefits of serverless computing
Cost Efficiency
You only pay for the actual compute resources used during code execution.
Flexible Scaling
Your application can be scaled automatically or by adjusting its capacity through toggling the units of consumption rather than units of individual servers.
Accelerated Time to Market
Serverless computing allows you to focus on business logic, and requires less effort on the infrastructure side. This accelerates the time to market for applications.
Security
Since the underlying infrastructure is abstracted by the cloud provider, the chances of attack on the infrastructure is minimal.

A majority of the serverless computing is event driven, meaning a trigger from an event (API call, file upload, etc) triggers a specific resource which executes an infrastructure component (compute, storage, etc) and provides the result, making the infrastructure consumption very efficient. This is also one of the reasons why serverless computing is cost effective. The cloud provider takes care of scaling up and scaling down the underlying infrastructure based on the incoming requests, allowing the consumers to focus on business logic. This improves the focus on what matters most, the business.
Why an end-to-end serverless platform is important
An end-to-end serverless platform is crucial for modern businesses, streamlining the development lifecycle by removing the intricacies of infrastructure management. Such platforms enhance cost efficiency by ensuring payment only for active compute time, automatically scale to meet demand, bolster security through integrated measures, and provide a unified ecosystem for seamless development and deployment. By eliminating operational overhead and infrastructure concerns, businesses can focus on innovation, ensuring rapid adaptability and consistent performance in an ever-evolving market.
Why Serverless is inevitable?
The technological advancement has been in the direction of making it easier to maintain infrastructure. Moving from self managed data centres to vendor managed data centres allows you to have a flexible and scalable infrastructure. Moving from a server based architecture to a container based architecture allows you to utilise the server resources completely by creating an abstraction layer on the base server, the abstraction is focused on making it easier to maintain and scale infrastructure. But depending on the type of container service being used, you still have to maintain some part of the infrastructure. Serverless is highly abstracted from the underlying infrastructure, making it much easier to maintain and scale. The pattern is solid, serverless is the eventuality of the advancements which allows you to have a laser focus on business logic rather than building and maintaining infrastructure. Moving to a serverless computing model is not just a necessity, it's inevitable.
Role of Serverless Computing in Digital Transformation
Serverless computing is a big help for businesses wanting to modernize their apps without the fuss of managing complex systems. It lets them quickly make changes, save money, and better adjust to what their customers want.
