Serverless is a cloud computing model which allows developers to think less about servers allowing them to focus on writing code. The cloud provider will manage the infrastructure and automatically allocate resources to run and scale applications.
A serverless architecture empowers your organization to develop and deploy applications without the burden of infrastructure management. By eliminating the need for server maintenance, it significantly reduces operational costs and complexities. This approach allows you to concentrate on your core business objectives while the cloud provider handles the underlying infrastructure responsibilities.
Adopting serverless services within a serverless architecture enables you to prioritize the functional aspects of your product that deliver the greatest business value. With serverless development, you benefit from a pay-per-usemodel, ensuring that you only incur costs when your application is actively utilized. Furthermore, serverless architectures offer unparalleled scalability and enhanced productivity, enabling you to rapidly adapt to changing demands and drive increased business value.
All serverless services employ a pay-per-use model ensuring the services are interesting for large enterprise companies as well as start-ups and scale-ups since they don't require any up-front investments.
Time to market
Serverless development allows for rapid prototyping and deployment because developers need to worry less about infrastructure setup. That’s why it enables faster iteration and shorter development cycles.
Scalable & resilient by design
A huge advantage of serverless architectures is its ability to automatically scale based on the incoming workload. This eliminates the need for manual intervention or resource provisioning, saving time and effort for developers and operations teams. Additionally, serverless architectures offer built-in resilience and fault tolerance. In the event of a serverless function failure, the platform automatically attempts to re-execute the function or routes the request to another available instance, minimizing downtime and ensuring a seamless user experience.
Security & compliancy
Serverless architecture offers enhanced security as cloud providers handle many security aspects, reducing the burden on businesses to manage infrastructure, network, or host-related security. Moreover, serverless services frequently comply with widely recognized and industry-standard compliance regulations, such as HIPAA and various ISO standards, providing added peace of mind for organizations.

OUR CASES
Read how Cloudway helps organisations improve operational efficiency and flexibility
Server-less is thinking less about servers by leveraging managed services of the public cloud providers that reduce undifferentiated heavy lifting such as security updates, scaling and hardware maintenance. Or as Werner Vogels states: No server is easier to manage than no server.
Your code is of course still executed on a server, however, you do not make use of any permanent infrastructure. So, there is no server you need to worry about.
Serverless reduces total cost of ownership and frees up time of the development team to focus on differentiating features bringing more value to your business in a faster way. It also leverages the shared responsibility model to the greatest extend while still allowing custom development of business logic in code.
Core serverless solutions provided by the public cloud providers often already adhere to industry standards (e.g., HIPAA, FIPS 140-2 & PCI DSS Level 1). The only responsibility left with the business, is writing compliant application logic.
