Serverless App Development Services for Operational Simplicity

More and more organizations are adopting serverless architecture and FaaS for their app development needs. Here is a list of pros and cons that need to be considered before opting for it:-

Pros

• Improves developer productivity and reduces operational costs.
• Development teams can concentrate more on front-end development.
• Simplifies DevOps adoption
• The pay-per-use model reduces wastage of resources.

Cons

• No control over the server-side logic.
• Possibility of vendor lock-in.

Although there are many benefits of using the serverless architecture for application development, there are specific types of applications it suits the best:-

• If there are a limited number of functions that need to be hosted
• If applications need an unpredictable amount of server loads.
• If the applications are rapidly changing that need to be scaled to accommodate those changes.
• If the applications involve chatbots, different scheduled tasks, incoming data streams, or business logic.

Serverless is an approach that allows developers to build and run applications without managing the basic infrastructure. Although the term suggests development without servers, that’s not how it works. Servers are still required, but they are taken care of by an outside partner and not the development company itself. Since the backend is handled by a third-party, developers can solely focus on the frontend development. The cloud provider is responsible for provisioning, maintaining, and scaling the servers as and when required.
