Serverless Functions
Deploying backend logic as independent functions that run in the cloud, reducing server management overhead.
Where we use it
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.
Strengths
- No server management required.
- Pay-per-use pricing model is cost-effective.
- Automatic scaling to handle traffic spikes.
Trade-offs
- "Cold starts" can introduce latency.
- Execution time and resource limits.
- Local development and debugging can be more complex.
