Serverless architecture is revolutionizing application development by eliminating the need to manage servers. This article explores the benefits and challenges of going serverless.
## What is Serverless?
Serverless computing allows developers to build and run applications without managing infrastructure. Functions are executed on-demand, scaling automatically.
## Benefits
- Reduced operational overhead
- Automatic scaling
- Pay-per-use pricing
- Faster deployment cycles
## Use Cases
We explore ideal use cases for serverless architecture including:
- API backends
- Data processing pipelines
- Scheduled tasks
- Real-time file processing
