consumption model really changes the playing field in terms of risk vs reward , by ensuring costs incurred to companies are directly correlated to value delivered to the end user .
“ It ’ s the next-generation of cloud computing . As a term in its own right the word ‘ severless ’ is a bit of a misnomer : servers are still actually involved . However , the key difference with more traditional forms of the tech is in how the servers are implemented and managed ,” he said .
Going serverless means the service provider or vendor takes care of provisioning a larger proportion of the infrastructure and many of the associated responsibilities . This means organisations can save themselves the time and hassle spent on server provisioning , ensuring functionality , creating test environments , or maintaining server uptime .
“ You could say that serverless represents the purest form of cloud application development available ,” said de Rozario .
One of the overriding benefits to serverless , according to de Rozario , “ is that computing can become event-driven and 100 percent automated , meaning it only dedicates underlying computing resources
