@codewithstu@hachyderm.ioOne of the more prominent trends in 2022 was the migration to more serverless-based architectures. From #Lambdas to Fargate to #DynamoDB, we saw it all. But what is a #serverless architecture? #dotnet #devops
Serverless architecture is a software architecture that allows developers to build and run applications and services without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. It is characterized by a pay-per-use model, with the infrastructure provided by a cloud provider on demand.
In a Serverless architecture, we typically create and deploy code in the form of functions. Cloud providers handle the execution of the code and the underlying infrastructure, such as servers, storage, and networking. We are charged for what we use.
The main advantage of a #serverless architecture is that it allows us to focus on building and running services without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. It's also scalable, as the cloud provider can automatically scale the infrastructure to meet the target workload.
#Serverless architectures are excellent at many different workload types, but each application should look at the requirements and pick the best architectural style for their workload. Think of it like a tool in the tool belt.
