ServerlessSetups
ServerlessSetups are architectural and deployment patterns that rely on serverless computing platforms to run code and manage resources without provisioning or managing servers. They typically combine functions as a service, managed data stores, and event-driven messaging to build scalable applications with minimal operations. In a typical ServerlessSetup, application logic is decomposed into stateless functions that are triggered by events from HTTP gateways, message queues, storage changes, or scheduled timers. Functions scale automatically and short-lived state is kept in external services, while managed services provide persistence, authentication, and integration.
Key components include API gateways or HTTP endpoints, function runtimes, event sources, managed databases or storage,
Common patterns include API-driven microservices, real-time data processing, data pipelines, and workflow orchestration. Patterns emphasize scalability,
Benefits include reduced operational burden, pay-per-use pricing, automatic scaling, and faster development cycles. Drawbacks include cold
Security and governance considerations cover least-privilege IAM, secret management, encryption, compliance, and auditing. Testing and observability
Examples of platforms include AWS Lambda with API Gateway and Step Functions; Azure Functions with Durable
