Choosing the right architecture for your application is crucial to make it low-cost, performant, and scalable. Two of the leading software development methods today, serverless and container-based architectures, have distinct patterns for application release and application processing. In this article, we discuss their technical intricacies, key distinctions, and under which conditions to make use of each, with code examples to illustrate specific application uses.
What Is Serverless Architecture?
Serverless computing eliminates infrastructure administration, leaving developers to write code alone. Provisioning, scaling, and servicing are controlled by cloud platforms such as AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Google Cloud Functions.
