Serverless computing, microservices, and containers are all technologies that are typically considered essential for developing cloud-native applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"What_is_Serverless_Computing\"><strong>What is Serverless Computing?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Serverless computing is a execution model and application development of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cyfuture.cloud\/blog\/impact-of-cloud-computing-on-the-telecom-industry\"><b>cloud computing<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in which the cloud provider dynamically allocates resources to run application code and scale applications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a serverless model, the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/cyfuture.cloud\"><b>cloud provider<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> charges for the actual execution of code, rather than for pre-allocated instances of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cyfuture.cloud\/spot-virtual-machines\"><b>virtual machines<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (VMs) or <\/span><b>containers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With serverless computing, developers purchase back-end services from cloud services vendors on a pay-as-you-go basis, which means they pay only for the services used. This can result in cost savings, as you only pay for the resources you use, and can scale resources up or down as needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, serverless architectures are built around stateless functions-as-a-service (FaaS) platforms, such as Azure Functions, AWS Lambda, or Google Cloud Functions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These platforms allow developers to run and scale applications and services without the need to provision or maintain infrastructure. Developers can write and deploy their code, and the FaaS platform will automatically execute the code and scale it as needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Serverless computing is a relatively new concept and is still evolving, but it has the potential to greatly simplify the development and deployment of cloud-based applications and services.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"How_does_Serverless_Computing_works\"><strong>How does Serverless Computing works?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In serverless computing, you write and deploy your code without worrying about anyother infrastructure-related things like the allocation of resources and applications. When your code is needed, the serverless platform runs it in a managed environment, known as a &#8220;function.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have a glimpse of the high-level of how serverless computing works:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Write code:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For your application or service you can write the code, and bundled it into a deployable unit which is known as a function.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Upload function:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> After that, you upload your function to a serverless platform, such as Google Cloud Functions, AWS Lambda or Azure Functions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Specify triggers:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You specify the triggers that will invoke your function, such as an HTTP request or a message being published to a message queue.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The function is invoked:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Once a trigger occurs, the serverless platform runs your function in a controlled &amp; regulated environment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Execution of function: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your function executes and performs the desired logic.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pay for compute time: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The serverless platform charges you only for the compute time that your function consumes, typically in increments of 100 milliseconds.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span id=\"What_are_the_advantages_of_Serverless_Computing\"><strong>What are the advantages of Serverless Computing?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The use of cloud computing is surging globally, as more companies of all sizes find the benefits of the technology.
