Why is it time to adopt serverless?

Serverless lets developers shift their focus from the server level to the task level, allowing organisations to move faster and with greater focus on delivering value to their customers rather than being stuck with infrastructure concerns.

If you are a startup or if you are building a new product, serverless will allow you to greatly shorten the time to production and to speed up the development-release-test loop allowing you to find your product-market fit faster.

If you want to migrate an existing product (or parts of it) to serverless, you will then benefit of greater agility and ability to integrate with other platforms or release new features quickly, which will increase your competitive advantage.

But that’s not all, there are several other important advantages that come with serverless:

• Auto-scalability: serverless is fully managed. Developers don’t need to implement code to scale and administrators don’t need to worry about updates or provisioning.
• High availability & Geolocation: since the infrastructure is fully managed you don’t have to worry about uptime at machinery level, it is guaranteed by the provider. Plus distributing your app over different geographic locations for reduced latency is just a click away.
• Efficiency & cost: Serverless has a ‘pay per use’ model: you pay for memory allocation and the time spent executing your code, so you don't incur the cost of unutilized functions as seen in cloud computing models where even ‘idle’ resources have to be paid for.
