Have you heard of the serverless computing concept? Big companies like Amazon and Microsoft have been investing heavily into this model. The serverless computing model transports your business into the cloud, where service providers allocate resources for their clients on-demand. This way your company can cut down on the amount of real estate you have to commit to physical hardware. Think of it as a “pay-as-you-go” model. Now, you’re probably asking yourself, “Why should I care?” Well, we’re here to tell you exactly why.
Well, as we said, one major benefit is that pay-as-you-go model. Rather than being locked in to leasing a set amount of servers, storage, or bandwidth, your organization pays for what it actually uses. Not only is this a way to potentially save money on what you don’t use, but it allows you to seamlessly transition into a larger resource demand as your business, and its IT needs, expand. Serverless computing can potentially both lower expenses and ensure that your expansion is not limited by your server capacity.
In addition, serverless computing can simplify your IT needs and user experience, as it takes more off your plate. Since you only use the server space you use and your IT capabilities grow alongside your business smoothly, there’s less technical know-how and tinkering with configurations needed on the user’s ends. Technologies such as these help in the mission to bring innovation to as many as possible by making it accessible and practical. While serverless computing does take place on servers, the user never has to manage those servers at all.
Serverless computing is also more efficient and “green” in its use of resources than traditional server architecture. Going serverless eliminates the need to host your own data center or servers. That means reducing physical resources, hardware, and electricity needed to keep your company online. Rather than keeping your own data center running constantly, you can simply use servers when you need them. So, if you’re concerned about the waste your company produces, going serverless might be the right move. Your wallet and the environment will both thank you.
