Welcome to serverless applications

Serverless services are an excellent way of accelerating solution development and implementation processes within our solutions, but like many existing solutions in the cloud, they are not a silver bullet. You must be cautious when choosing which components within your solution can be implemented in this way in order to take full advantage of the benefits of using these services.

What is serverless?

Before being able to evaluate the use of serverless services within our solution, it is necessary to understand what serverless really means. The serverless concept does not really mean that our solutions are not implemented in servers, but that we do not have to worry about the operation of these servers, and thus we can focus on delivering value by building new features in our application in a much more optimal way.
