How Serverless architecture has improved your business/operations


Hello, I’m really curious to know if using serverless is beneficial compared to pre existing architectures

It's case by case, there's no real definitive answer for all cases. It's very hands-off and easy to create and deploy into, this comes at the cost of control, vendor lock-in and potentially price.

Last time I delved into serverless at the day job, we chose it because we were a pretty small team and dealings with the sysadmin team would take long. Serverless gave our dev team a lot of agility without many of the associated worries that come with managing a machine.

Speed and reliability. The network is almost always the slowest and most fragile part of an application.
