Serverless Functions
We use serverless functions (e.g., AWS Lambda, Vercel Functions) to run backend logic without managing servers. This approach is cost-effective, scales automatically, and allows us to focus on writing code rather than managing infrastructure. It's perfect for APIs, background tasks, and microservices.
Advantages
- No server management required.
- Pay-per-use pricing model is cost-effective.
- Automatic scaling to handle traffic spikes.
Disadvantages
- "Cold starts" can introduce latency.
- Execution time and resource limits.
- Local development and debugging can be more complex.
