Advantages of going serverless
With an understanding of how serverless applications work, now it's time for us to take a look at the advantages provided by this development approach:
- Reduced development efforts: By using the services provided by the third-party cloud providers, we can reduce the development efforts for some of the common functionalities that are found inside an application, such as user authentication, notification, and file storage. All of these functionalities can be implemented through the use of the APIs provided by the cloud providers.
- Less operational complexity: The execution and scaling of a serverless application is managed by the cloud service provider, which takes away the operational complexities of managing our own infrastructure to handle the execution of the application.
- High availability: The applications built in the serverless manner provide high availability due to the fact that the infrastructure is managed by the cloud provider, which can have the application...
