The State of serverless computing 2021

Serverless computing is redefining the way organizations develop, deploy, and integrate cloud-native applications. According to an industry report, market size of serverless computing is expected to reach 7.72 billion by 2021. A new and compelling paradigm for the deployment of cloud applications, serverless computing is at the precipice of enterprise shift towards containers and microservices.

In the year 2021, serverless paradigm shift presents exciting opportunities to organizations by providing a simplified programming model for creating cloud applications by abstracting away most operational concerns. Major cloud vendors, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are already in the game with their respective offering and there is no reason you shouldn’t aboard the train.

2021 is the year of FaaS

All major providers of serverless computing offer several types and tiers of database and storage services to their customers. In addition, all major cloud player such as Amazon, Microsoft and Google offer Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms with their serverless offerings.

Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) is a “serverless” way to run modular bits of code on the network edge. FaaS allows developers to write and deploy a piece of code anytime, which can then be run upon event triggers. An event could be a user clicking Submit at the bottom of a web form. Serverless computing makes it easy to scale your application and is a cost-effective way to deploy microservices.

With FaaS, developers can build applications in a modular architecture, making the application code more scalable without having to devote resources in supporting the underlying backend.
