deploying and running applications on cloud infrastructure. Serverless platform provider is responsible for capacity, scaling, balancing and monitoring - Characteristics of Lambda function: - Go to market - Low cost, adapt at scale - Build better applications, easier
runs in the public cloud, so mission-critical apps shouldn’t be based on it - Increase complexity when moving from a monolithic approach to a more serverless approach
design, code rather than infrastructure - Low cost, less code, scalable and flexible is good fit for startups that want to innovate and move quickly - For example: - Netflix use lambda to automate validate for backup completions - ConnectWise use lambda to process logs such as: extract, transform, load jobs, real-time file processing
