Serverless Computing and Java’s Concurrent Capabilities

Serverless computing has revolutionized application deployment and management, allowing developers to focus on writing code while cloud providers handle the underlying infrastructure. This chapter explores the essentials of serverless computing and how Java’s concurrent capabilities can be effectively utilized in this environment. We’ll delve into the fundamental concepts of serverless computing, its advantages, specific scenarios where it’s particularly beneficial, and the trade-offs involved.

Serverless architectures offer significant benefits in terms of scalability, cost efficiency, and reduced operational overhead, but they also come with challenges such as cold start latency, resource limits, and vendor lock-in. Understanding these trade-offs is crucial for making informed decisions about when and how to use serverless computing.

The chapter will cover the following key topics:
