Serverless Architecture

Serverless architecture is an approach to software design that allows developers to build and run services without having to manage the underlying infrastructure.

Developers can write and deploy code, while a cloud provider provisions servers to run their applications, databases, and storage systems at any scale.

By adopting serverless architecture, developers can offload these responsibilities to a third-party provider, enabling them to focus on writing application code.

Both serverless and container architectures allow developers to deploy application code by abstracting away the host environment, but there are key differences between them.

Containers give developers control over the underlying operating system and runtime environment, making them suitable for applications that consistently get high traffic or as a first step in cloud migration. Serverless functions, on the other hand, are better suited for trigger-based events such as payment processing.
