For example, we invest in next-generation, royalty-free codecs and sophisticated video encoding optimizations. Video downscaling is the most pertinent example herein, which tailors our encoding to screen resolutions of different devices and optimizes picture quality under varying network conditions. A visual example is shown below.

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. Advantages.

Metrics are measures of critical system values, such as CPU utilization or average write latency to persistent storage. For example, teams can use centralized observability data to improve incident response times, increase automation, and inform critical business decisions.
