Are you deciding to go serverless? To make the decision, learn more about serverless benefits like low capital expenditure and shortened release cycle.
Cloud computing, specifically IaaS, is a rapidly going service, being adopted worldwide by enterprises big and small. Forecasts predict that by the end of 2020, 67% of enterprise IT infrastructure and software spending will be for cloud-based offerings. That is a huge chunk of IT budget that is going to modern infrastructure adoption and usage. One key player in this market is serverless architecture. Serverless computing initiates a conscious shift in the way businesses are run and improves the impact of technology services. Serverless' benefits allow enterprises to operate without the worry of the underlying operating system and infrastructure.
Serverless computing is a new cloud computing paradigm with enormous economic growth potential. Factors that drive growth are:
According to forecasts, the serverless architecture market will reach an estimated market value of $21.1 billion (USD) by 2025. By 2021, the market is expected to attain $7.2 billion. The CAGR for serverless architecture is 22.7% between 2020-2025.
With technologically and economically advanced countries like the US and Canada, North America is the largest market shareholder in a serverless architecture. Europe is the second most dominant region in the growth of serverless architecture, followed by the Asia Pacific.
Servers have long been a part of computing infrastructure. But as cloud computing gains traction and companies move to web-based server infrastructure, serverless architecture is rapidly gaining popularity. Here are some known benefits of going serverless:
Serverless is opening up new avenues for businesses and allowing them to explore their full potential cost-effectively. OpenStack, too, supports serverless architecture. The OpenStack project Qinling provides a platform for serverless functionality. Additionally, Qinling supports container orchestration platforms and function package storage backends.
