Hence, right now, there are four types of cloud computing \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Platform as a service (PaaS)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Software as a service (SaaS)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Function as a service (FaaS) \u2013 Serverless Computing<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As per\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/what-is-cloud-computing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>,\u00a0<strong><em>\u201cCloud computing is the on-demand delivery of computing power, database storage, applications, and other IT resources through a cloud services platform via the internet with pay-as-you-go pricing.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It means that you have to<strong>\u00a0pay for only the resources you use<\/strong>. You can scale up or scale down the resources according to requirements. But do we pay only for what we use?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Let\u2019s take an example of a website hosted on a cloud. You started a website and initially opted for 1GB RAM and 500GB storage. After three months, you saw a spike in your users and easily upgraded the plan to 2 GB RAM and 1TB of storage because the cloud gives you this flexibility. But the problem is that your website gets traffic only at business hours and the traffic is very low at night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now, you have upgraded your cloud\u2019s capacity, but that is only getting utilized in the daytime, and you are paying for a complete 24 hours a day. So this is a waste of your money and not exactly Pay-as-you-go pricing, is it? Here comes serverless computing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Serverless computing is a\u00a0<strong>pure pay-as-you-go model<\/strong>. You will only pay for what you use without getting worried about scalability issues. Serverless computing offers real-time scalability to the application. If in a moment, there are only 100 visitors who need 500MB of space, then only that amount of storage will be allocated to the application. If users increase, then the resources will also be scaled up automatically, without any downtime or website crashing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Many websites have fluctuating demands for resources, and in these cases, Serverless computing is the best option. If in one month, your website has low traffic, then your bill will be less. If the next month, the number of users increases, your bill will also increase. Do you see the real pay-as-you-go model? It\u2019s incredible.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Serverless_mean_no_servers\"><\/span>Does Serverless mean no servers?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One of the popular misconceptions about serverless computing is that there are no servers involved. Is this possible? Does serverless mean no servers? No, it is<strong>\u00a0just a marketing gimmick<\/strong>. Obviously, you need servers in serverless computing. The catch here is that the developer or the owner doesn\u2019t have to deal with servers; for them, it is non-existent. The vendors manage all the servers. All the changes, security issues, etc., are taken care of by the service providers.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Function_as_a_Service_FaaS_in_serverless_computing\"><\/span><span id=\"What_is_Function_as_a_serviceFaaS_in_serverless_computing\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>What is Function as a Service (FaaS) in serverless computing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Function as a Service is a\u00a0<strong>subset of serverless computing<\/strong>. Serverless offers Serverless Databases, Serverless Storage, and Function as a Service(Faas). Faas is the most popular form of serverless computing. In simple terms, in FaaS, an application is divided into\u00a0<strong>functions triggered by any event<\/strong>.<br \/>\nIn Faas, the user is responsible for the definition of the function and the event. This function will only run when a particular event occurs; otherwise, it will remain idle. For example, there is a function of sending an e-mail when a user subscribes to a website. This function will only get executed when a user subscribes, otherwise not. You will be charged only for the time when the function is running.<\/p>\n<p>When it is in an idle state, there would be no charge. FaaS is a very convenient way to divide the application into small functions. It is very cost-effective and easy to use because it uses serverless computing. FaaS is interchangeably used with Serverless computing because it is the most popular feature of serverless computing.<br \/>\nIn serverless computing, when a function is not used for a long time, it goes to a rest\/sleep state. From the sleep state, it will take a little more time to again start execution than usual. But after that, it will run smoothly without any delay.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_of_Serverless_Computing\"><\/span>Advantages of Serverless Computing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I have given you a brief introduction to Serverless computing; let\u2019s see some advantages that serverless computing has over non-serverless computing:<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">1. Low Cost:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0As you will never pay for the unused resources in serverless computing, you won\u2019t get billed for those. All the resources are supplied only when needed, and you pay for the millisecond of those resources consumed. Traditional cloud computing makes you pay even for the underutilized resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">2. Easily Scalable:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0In the traditional cloud, your application will get crashed in case of a sudden user spike. You can always increase the load capacity of your server as it is cloud computing, but you have to do it manually. But in serverless, the applications are easily scalable. They will be allocated resources automatically as per requirement. They can handle a very high number of requests at a time, without any anomalies. The serverless architecture very precisely allocates the resources to an application, according to the requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">3. No Server Management Issues:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Serverless computing takes care of all the issues regarding the servers. The application developers have no control over the servers, so they do not worry about them. All their focus is on developing and improving the website. It is a very productive advantage of using serverless.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">4. Quick Deployment:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Developers can work stress-free by not worrying about server bug fixing. It results in faster deployment and updates for the application.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disadvantages_of_Serverless_Computing\"><\/span><span id=\"Disadvantages_of_Serverless_Computing\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>Disadvantages of Serverless Computing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Complex Debugging and Testing:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Serverless architecture breaks the applications into many smaller functions, as it will take less space and resources. But it makes debugging and testing very complex. Developers don\u2019t have access to the backend, and all the application is divided into small functions, which is a headache for debuggers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Performance Issues:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> If some part of the application is not used for a long time, it will go to sleep. When it is required again, then it will take some time to wake-up and execute. It is called \u2018cold start\u2019. On the other hand, if a part of an application is used regularly, then it will execute faster, as it was already active. It is called a \u2018warm start\u2019. So, a cold start can create high latency issues that can sometimes result in degraded performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Over-Reliance on Vendors:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> As the vendors manage all the backend, they have their own applications. Each vendor like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft has developed its own set of software for handling serverless applications. It is not easy to migrate from one vendor to another because of their different features.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Security concerns:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Serverless also has some security issues, as the vendors are more focused on backend management. Function Event data injection, Broken authentication, and improper exception handling are some of the high-risk security issues. Serverless vendors are working quite hard to overcome these issues and are getting success.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Serverless_computing_Leading_Service_providers\"><\/span><span id=\"Serverless_computing_Leading_Service_providers\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>Serverless computing Leading Service providers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon Web Services (AWS)<\/a>\u00a0\u2013<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Amazon is the leading service provider for cloud computing.
