Serverless Computing

Serverless computing, despite its name, requires servers – but it does free up developers and IT engineers from managing server hardware and allows applications to run on-demand, making it an ideal approach for certain use cases.

Why run an always-on server in the cloud when you can precisely run just one function when it’s needed? That's the promise of serverless computing architecture.

The promised benefits of serverless computing boil down to a way to make application deployment faster, more flexible, more cost-efficient and more scalable.

Serverless cloud application development and deployment vendor Stackery is adding new DevOps and security features to help accelerate serverless adoption and usage.

Fastly is now previewing its Compute@Edge service, powered by the company's Lucet WebAssembly technology, enabling developers to use multiple languages for cloud serverless functions.

Serverless Summit, a pre-opening event at this year's Container World, indicated that serverless is a technology still finding its footing.
