Serverless Architecture: When and How to Use It

Serverless architecture represents a paradigm shift in how we build and deploy applications. By abstracting away server management, developers can focus on writing code that delivers business value.

What is Serverless?

Serverless computing allows you to run code without provisioning or managing servers. The cloud provider automatically handles the infrastructure, scaling, and maintenance.

When to Use Serverless

Serverless is ideal for event-driven applications, microservices, APIs, and applications with variable or unpredictable traffic patterns.

Implementation Best Practices

Design for statelessness, optimize function performance, implement proper monitoring, and consider cold start implications in your architecture.
