Is there a service without someone to serve?
Why would there be?
Serverless architecture
In the Serverless Web model the application runs only for the duration of use. When a request has been handled and a response returned, the process ends. The service does not stay on waiting for the next user.
The service is not running unnecessarily
Do you leave your electric toothbrush running after you finish brushing? Of course not.
In serverless architecture the same logic applies to web services. The application starts only when it is used and shuts down automatically when the need ends. Servers are not kept running just in case, capacity is not guessed in advance, and the customer does not need to worry about maintenance. The application scales with usage and costs are incurred only from real use - not from time when nothing happens.
You pay for usage, not time
In the traditional model costs arise from the service existing. In serverless architecture costs are incurred only when the service is used.
Resources are not reserved in advance and capacity is not sized by the month. When usage grows, the service scales automatically. When usage decreases, costs fall with it. The customer pays for events and usage - not for calendar days, standby time, or idle running.
Green coding in practice
In a serverless model the service consumes energy only during use, which reduces environmental impact without compromising functionality.
That is why we favor Google's Hamina data center, where seawater cooling and heat recovery support energy-efficient serverless architecture.
New does not require shutting down the old
In many organizations critical systems have been in use for years - sometimes for decades. They work, they are accepted, and a lot has been built on top of them.
Serverless architecture makes it possible to build the new without touching what already exists. New functionality can be delivered as separate, lightweight services that connect to current interfaces and processes.
This is how the whole evolves in a controlled way:
- without downtime
- without platform overhauls
- without the risk that something critical stops working
If your current system works but limits you - get in touch. Let's discuss a solution that fits your current environment without shutting down what works.
