Brief understanding of serverless computing.

In the world of advancements, ideas are on the move. Ideas are the key to flourish in the current world.  To execute your ideas you need extra minds focused on the execution of the ideas not on handling your servers. With the new innovation of cloud based services you can spend your time in creative energy, this is what most of the organizations want to do. Serverless allows you to do what it takes to have a successful business and forget about the infrastructure. Serverless, for those who are the part of technology industry are well aware of this word. For those who are still not aware of this will now be by reading this article. So, what is this hype about serverless, what is it and how it matters to the businesses of today. Let’s dig into it.  

What is serverless?

Serverless is defined in a couple ways but first and foremost it's the abstraction of servers. I didn’t say elimination of servers, servers are still present but they are under the cover, somewhere. Service providers deal them, they are managing your infrastructure for you but you as the user don't need to worry about it and can focus on just your business applications.

What does serverless infrastructure have?

The serverless infrastructure comprises of two main components which are the key considerations of the businesses.

Event Driven Scale

The serverless architecture has the event driven scaling. This means is that your code happens when it needs to happen. It will scale automatically, if you get large load it will really just provision the resources that are necessary and nothing else

Billing for what you use:

As this happens when you need it, because all of the resources aren't provisioned immediately. You can really only pay for what you use scale so if you use one application for one execution for one for 10 milliseconds you're billed for just that.

With each passing day companies are bringing on the innovations to keep it simple to do business. The cloud storage solutions allow you to have automated services which keep things simple for you. But as it is said each picture has two sides. Serverless computing has a positive and negative side which should be kept in mind while adapting it.
