ABSTRACT
In the extraordinary times in which modern enterprises find themselves, the ability to scale digital infrastructure seamlessly to meet rapidly increasing demand is as critical as ever.
This white paper will address serverless technology as a potential solution for companies experiencing exceptional demands on their infrastructure. While examining serverless against other solutions like monolith applications running on VMs or microservices running on containerized environments, we considered four main factors that proves serverless as the best option. These are namely:
• Separation of Concerns
• Engineering/Operational Culture
• Scaling/Concurrency
• Cost Efficiency.
After evaluating each factor thoroughly, the paper will conclude by summarizing the advantages offered by serverless architecture in facing elastic demand concerns.
