Understanding Serverless Architecture

Understanding Serverless Architecture

Today as we know there are dramatic changes in the technological environment that rate of change is frequency and because of this reason most of the businesses are looking for solutions that are both affordable and allow for scalability. The progressing industry has managed to deliver a paradigm shift by presenting serverless computing, which encouraging developers to stop managing infrastructure and instead concentrate on building and deploying applications. In this blog post, we will define serverless computing, discuss its pros, and most importantly outline the way Massil Technologies uses serverless computing in its business endeavors.

What Is Serverless Computing?

Serverless computing is a form of cloud computing in which the execution of a user’s application is outsourced all the way to the provider of the cloud services. As the name would suggest there is no server in this type of computing. There will be a cloud server and a provider who does a lot of the underlying infrastructure that is hidden from developers. Most of the work revolves around thinking about and working with code that needs to be written and deployed without any concerns over servers, scaling, or upkeep.

Due to the increasing availability of solutions such as AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions and Azure Functions, serverless computing has gained a lot of popularity, and organizations are able to utilize the serverless architecture to develop applications which scale automatically as required without the need for infrastructure to be expressly provisioned.

How Serverless Computing Works

Still, businesses will need to spare resources for the management of virtual machines (VMs) or containers and scale them with demand. Serverless computing is a bit different in that the developers create a few small pieces of codes that are also referred to as functions that are event-oriented. These pieces of code execute when specific events take place such as an HTTP request or database change. When the event takes place, the cloud provider provisions all resources required to perform the function and after execution, all resources are de-provisioned.

This model removes waste due to idle resources meaning that only what is consumed is paid for. Serverless applications scale up and down automatically in response to traffic and the burden of provisioning, scaling, patching, or even running the infrastructure is transferred to the provider.

Benefits of Serverless Computing

  • Reduced Operational Complexity: In the case of server less, there is no requirement to deal in any way with the server, VMs or containers. This means that developers do not have business logic related concerns resulting to fast development cycles and minimal operational complications.
  • Automatic Scaling: Serverless types of applications increase and decrease capacity without human intervention according to the demand they send. If users come all at once or if they leave quietly, the infrastructure will still resize autonomously without the need for manual labor.
  • Cost-Efficiency: One of the main benefits of serverless is that it is based on a pay as you go approach. You will only be charged for the actual compute time used by your application. As a result, it wipes off the cost of maintaining idle resources which is very suiting for varying workloads.
  • Faster Time to Market: Teams that adopt a serverless architecture can reduce development efforts by letting them concentrate on the application’s functional logic. Now developers do not have to spend their time in managing the infrastructure which in turn reduces the time to deploy.
  • Improved Security: There is less chance of security threats because the cloud provider has the responsibility of the infrastructure and because of such infrastructure management processes like patching and updating are made by the cloud provider. In a serverless model, developers can also take advantage of security practices embedded in the platform.

Massil Technologies’ Approach to Serverless Computing

At Massil Technologies we think that everything will move towards serverless computing and this will enable organizations to be more agile and be able to innovate more. Our serverless solutions are targeted towards enabling enterprises to develop highly scalable, adaptive, and financially optimized applications without further concerns about infrastructure management.

In today’s age, we have all the tools to use serverless computing in the best way possible and this is where our offerings come into play. Our offerings include numerous scenarios such as refreshing realtime data, orchestrational applications, or api oriented approaches. Here’s how we help organizations leverage serverless computing:

Tailor-made Serverless App Development

    At Massil Technologies, we design custom made serverless applications as per the user’s business requirements. We build microservices based architectures or employ effective scalable event driven applications design with performance in mind. We use leading cloud providers such as AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure so that your solutions are safe and built to last.

    For Cloud-Native Features, Seamlessly Utilize Related Services

      Serverless can easily relate with other database related services such as managed databases, storage, and further messaging queues strategy without any concerns. Powered by Massil Technologies, integrating serverless strategy with other cloud native services in presence of the team to be able to offer complete segments using units where the server is not included. For instance, databases such as Amazon DynamoDB or Firebase where the architecture has to be serverless designed for your applications to ensure low latency and high availability.

      Real-Time Data Processing

      Numerous companies proceed to the real-time data analysis for decision making purposes. Massil Technologies has serverless technologies for real-time information processing that helps in assessing and handling information as it is received. From event streaming from embedded devices to processing transactions and logging activities, we create event-based serverless systems that process data as soon as it comes in to allow of using the information before it gets outdated.

      API Based Solutions

      APIs being the transitioning solution can be best achieved by serverless situations. Massil Technologies enables companies to provide API oriented solutions which are economical, elastic and very available. We build server-free APIs on AWS Lambda and Google Cloud Services that scale on demand according to traffic thus high loads can be handled efficiently without additional costs even during the low seasons

      Although much of the work regarding management of serverless architecture is invisible, infrastructure provisioning remains an issue that is critical that requires attention. Massil Technologies provides monitoring solutions for server less applications in order to ensure that your applications resources are used efficiently and systems are performing the way they should. We look at function latency, performance and cost which you can use to devise strategies to enhance the performance of your serverless applications.

      Security in the Practical Implementation of the Technology

        The issue of security has been prioritized at Massil Technologies. Our serverless technologies are developed following security best practices, which means that illicit access tends to be reduced at the outset of the application development. Also, security measures embedded in the serverless architectures help businesses keep up to the relevant standards by audits and complying with outside regulations as well.

        Why Choose Massil Technologies?

        Massil Technologies has admirable practical knowledge of far taking corporations into usage of modern technologies including serverless computing. We design, build, and deploy applications with our clients that are not only scalable, but are also performance- and cost-efficient because of the thorough consultation and support rendered by expert developers and cloud architects.
