As we have explored so far, Microservices offer a great alternative architecture with which we can approach the application development scenario. With the advantages of having faster release cycles, easy-to-launch new features and high scalability, the Microservices are a compelling choice for developers. But all of these Microservices still run in a server-based environment.
Running in a server-based environment is useful in terms of the response times of the applications because there is always a service that is ready to accept an incoming request. But there is one disadvantage: If there are no users, the applications keep on consuming system resources.
Recently, application developers have started to make a move toward a new approach of application development. This approach of development focuses on the applications being event-driven and launches an action based on the occurrence of some event. These kinds of applications are known as serverless applications...
