It’s not magic











The real value of Serveless is not the cost savings, but the time savings.


So, what is Serverless, then?














Like a time machine?




















Feel the power of FaaS (Feature as a Service) platform














  1. The Serverless platform extracts the functional code — that is, the functional part of FaaS (function as a Service) — and all dependencies (such as required libraries, amount of memory, properties, and so on) and builds a containerized application package, usually in the form of a Docker image.
  2. When another platform service, such as object storage or a database, wants to trigger this function, or an external HTTP request wants to invoke this function, the Serverless platform forwards the request to an available functional microservice. If no microservices are currently available, it deploys one such instance, Cold Start.
  3. The Serverless platform is responsible for recovering microservices when they fail, automatically scaling to meet requirements, logging and monitoring functional activity, and rolling updates in real time as code changes are made. Someone manages the platform services so programmers can focus on the “feature” side.


So what are Severless’s downsides?
