FaaS enables developers to create and run a single function in the cloud using a serverless compute model. Cloud providers then manage physical hardware, virtual machines, and web server software management. Function as a service is a cloud computing model that runs code in small modular pieces, or microservices.

Let's talk about the elephant in the room; Serverless doesn't really mean that there are no Software or Hardware servers. Serverless Computing is also known as FaaS (Function as a Service). Serverless is currently a hot topic in many modern architectural patterns. Serverless systems are still in their infancy.

There were five trends and topics for 2021, Serverless First, Chaos Engineering, Wardley Mapping, Huge Hardware, Sustainability. I did a few talks on this subject early in the year, and linked this to the sustainability advantages of serverless architectures. I blogged a summary of my map camp talk here: Map Camp 2021?—?links

Thanks to Dynatrace AIOps this problem was detected automatically and routed to a remediation action Stephan implemented using AWS Lambda. Stephan did a great job in his demo, where he simulated a log spam of an application leading to a full disk which subsequently would impact other applications running on the same infrastructure.

In these modern environments, every hardware, software, and cloud infrastructure component and every container, open-source tool, and microservice generates records of every activity. Observability relies on telemetry derived from instrumentation that comes from the endpoints and services in your multi-cloud computing environments.

What it means to be cloud-native has gone through several evolutions: VM to container to serverless. Each cloud-native evolution is about using the hardware more efficiently. For example, AWS created Nitro. Nitro is a revolutionary combination of purpose-built hardware and software designed to provide performance and security.

Now that Database-as-a-service (DBaaS) is in high demand, there are multiple questions regarding AWS services that cannot always be answered easily: When should I use Aurora and when should I use RDS MySQL ? Amazon Aurora is a proprietary, cloud-native, fully managed relational database service developed by Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Infrastructure as a Service is the term used for those cloud-based solutions that provide complete infrastructure to the users including all the overheads, hardware, and networking facilities. SaaS does not need you to manage hardware or other requirements such as OS and middleware. This is also called serverless computing in general.

It can be hard to visualize the huge network of hardware that allows you to send a request for a page to a server and then receive a response back. The good news is that, as developers, we can do an awful lot about it. As a result of this, my view of the Internet for a long time was a little ephemeral, a sort of mirage.
