Serverless Architecture
System overloading, data loss, and development costs have been of great concerns in the web development field. There was an ongoing search for the solution to these issues. Then, Serverless architectures came into play. In serviceless architecture, users can run code virtually on any type of application without any administration, provisioning, managing or upgrading servers. Serverless architecture was first utilized by
Amazon Web Services with the launch of AWS Lambda in 2014. Initially, it was used by experimenters but few years later in came into general use. After AWS, many other huge companies such as Google and Microsoft also adopted it. Serverless technology is not only being used by these giants only rather now it is also being used in many other products such as chatbots, IOT apps and APIs for various tasks such as downloading file backups, delivering notifications and exporting objects. In web development, Serverless architectures are used in building and deploying backend APIs to manage heavy traffic load and automatically grow in response to demand. One of the biggest benefits of serverless architectures is that developers may concentrate on writing and delivering code instead of managing servers or worrying about infrastructure upkeep.
