What is “Serverless”? (In 40 seconds) #technology #programming #software #business #devops

You should give examples of this, like AWS lambda or azure functions so people can go read up on it.

A little error: you still write backend code! It’s just you don’t manage the servers. You don’t ONLY just write frontend code.

Dude, you can’t just say they handle your backend code, they don’t, they host it for you on a server farm, it doesn’t save you time in writing code, in fact it probably makes it harder to maintain your code, it just saves you the devops, and it scales, and it’s usually more expensive, unless if you literally only have a tiny script that you barely use

i'm taking an azure essentials class and this made it much clearer :)

I see your channel is growing. Good job man. I really enjoy the content.

[dahliaspumpski]

Thanks for the break down! I had a general understanding of serverless but this really cleared up what they actually do!

[saveuyghurmuslims]

can you explain stateful server too and like what is Nginx and Linux etc.

[AvenDonn]

And this is why code review and QA are important, or else you push mistakes like this video to prod

An easier way to think about serverless is imagine if instead of your entire middleware codebase being hosted on a server, you split it up into its individual functions, thus making it a function-as-a-service architecture. It also forces you to code smarter functions that take less time to run, as you are billed by the millisecond.

Serverless is a great way to keep costs low while you are scaling as pricing is entirely usage based. I'm a big fan of serverless architecture, but there are still some big drawbacks that might stop it from being the best for you. If you need your services to work very fast then you will have to look into your cold start times as that might be a deal breaker. There also aren't any really good frameworks that I am aware of for serverless as of now, which makes maintaining a large serverless application difficult in the long run.

Nice!, I am a computer scientist from Uganda

Thanks a lot this question was asked in my interview and i made it

[Otomega]

They should have called that 'privacyless'

[xlxnyx]

You can't spell serverless without server

[redgarpro]

Which is definitely good but has some bad parts to the puzzle as well.

[suprguy]

this dude lost all credibility with this one

[utsavkaushal]

Man your shorts are awesome. When I joined a cloud company after college and continuously heard serverless in meetings I was really confused. Had to Google a lot to get to know that. 😊

[alexzander__]

wrong. serverless means to create a webapp for a single request and then you kill the app
