AWS Serverless Platform


A serverless platform based on Amazon Web Services (AWS) manages all the services needed to build and run programs on the AWS-based systems. AWS serverless architecture provides computing and storage capabilities to handle all the varying workloads based on an organization's business requirements. AWS can handle all the back-end tasks based on computing, storage, processing, etc. AWS service platforms also enable you to automate your tasks.AWS Serverless ServicesAWS offers serverless services for computing, data stores, and integration. Applications that are built using serverless services offer enhanced agility.AWS serverless services for data stores include Amazon S3, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Aurora Serverless, and Amazon RDS Proxy. AWS serverless services for computing are AWS Lambda and AWS Fargate. Some of the AWS serverless services for application integration include Amazon EventBridge, AWS Step Functions, Amazon SQS, Amazon SNS, etc.Use Cases of AWS Serverless Architecture Some of the use cases of AWS serverless architecture are 1) Internet of Things (IoT)AWS serverless architecture is a very reliable choice for IoT platforms. AWS serverless architecture can provide flexible and cost-efficient solutions for IoT applications. It also supports most of the protocols that are used for IoT applications such as Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), Zigbee, Bluetooth, etc.2) Document ConversionAWS serverless services such as AWS Lambda enable you to generate documents on the fly. It can format documents, convert the documents, and retrieve them. You can either download them or display them on a webpage.3) Automated Backups and Monitored Resource UsageDevelopers can have automated backups, monitor, and check the usage of resources, trace out idle resources and generate reports using the boto3 Python libraries hosted by AWS Lambda.4) Real-Time Processing Serverless architectures are ideal for tasks that demand real-time processing. It can process live streaming data in real-time without consuming any operational overhead. Benefits of AWS Serverless ComputingAWS serverless computing enables teams to offload their worries with respect to the deployment and management of servers. You can develop applications and products without incurring any additional overheads. AWS serverless computing provides teams with greater scalability, shortened release times, and avail services based on a pay-as-you-go basis thus eliminating the need for making any upfront investments as compared to the traditional server models.1) AWS Serverless Computing Facilitates Easier DeploymentAWS serverless model provides you with many serverless built-in architectures. You can change the default settings to serve your requirements thus paying only for the services that you use. The user need not install and maintain the servers thus enabling them to focus their entire energy on the development. This can also enable the developers to deploy their applications faster.2)AWS Serverless Computing Enables Automated Deployment of Applications Developers can create a serverless application with an automated deployment pipeline from the AWS Lambda console. Deployments can be automated by integrating AWS services with AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM). AWS SAM enables deploying newer versions of Lambda functions and automatically creating aliases that point to the latest version.3) Leverage Better Scalability With AWS Serverless ArchitectureDeploying a serverless architecture enables you to scale your services based on the requirements. Based on the success of the applications you can stage changes in order to handle the variations in traffic.4) Green and Sustainable HostingHosting in-house data centers means you need to run them round the clock. Apart from the huge investments, the physical hardware consumes a significant amount of energy and there should be a dedicated temperature control mechanism to maintain an optimum level of operation. Resource consumption can be minimized by deploying serverless computing as you can buy servers based on the requirements. This can drastically cut down the energy requirements.5) AWS Serverless Computing Provides Better User ExperienceCustomers don't care about the underlying infrastructure as well as the back-end operations. What ultimately matters for the customer is the front-end code and interface. This is exactly what AWS serverless computing provides the development teams with. Developers and teams can release new features quickly that will improve the overall user experience. 6) Reduced LatencyAWS serverless architectures have access points across the whole world. Thus organizations deploying it can address users from any part of the world. In the traditional approach, if the user who deploys your application is at a geographically distant location with respect to where your server is hosted, would be required to send a request and get back the acknowledgment thus increasing the latency.ConclusionServerless computing is relatively a new technology. Hence you should identify your basic requirements before making your move into the serverless. Have a good idea about the components that make up your applications prior to adopting a serverless model. Serverless architecture being a request-driven model will indeed be the right move provided you have mapped your requirements.
