What Is Serverless? Is It Really Beneficial For Your Existing Website?

In today's digital climate, "serverless" is a term you have definitely heard of. It's a buzzword for a reason. But what does "serverless" really mean, and how may it improve the website you have now?

First off, being serverless does not mean that there are no servers. The primary contrast is that you are not responsible for managing servers, even though they still exist. With serverless architecture, you can focus on your application and let the service provider handle the infrastructure and scalability requirements.

Please allow me to share a real case study from one of our projects. There were times on one of our websites when very few people visited and others when millions of people wanted to download data. In the past, a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) could be established.

We were able to scale automatically in response to the volume of requests by utilizing serverless architecture, most especially AWS Lambda Functions. We were simply charged one request—roughly $1 USD for one million requests—instead of having to continuously pay for a massive server. Particularly considering the fluctuating traffic patterns, that is a noteworthy cost savings.

Why Think About Serverless Computing?

Let us learn more about why you should choose serverless computing for your existing website.

1. Cost-effectiveness

Because you only pay for what you use, you can handle erratic traffic volumes without incurring excessive costs for underutilized server resources.
 

2. Automatic Scaling

You may forget about thinking about server provisioning during periods of high demand. Serverless solutions adjust to the load automatically.
 

3. Quicker Development

Now that server administration is taken care of, your development team can concentrate on creating code and introducing new features.

Let’s Wrap It Up!

We have effectively employed AWS Lambda, which provides a reliable and expandable solution, to execute serverless architecture in multiple projects. Serverless computing has the potential to revolutionize website optimization in terms of both cost and performance.

We at LN Webworks have effectively used AWS Lambda to develop serverless architecture in a number of projects, providing clients with scalable and reliable solutions. Contact us today to schedule your free consultation!
