The phrase “serverless computing” appears contradictory at first, but for years now, successful companies have understood the benefit of using serverless technologies to streamline operations and reduce costs. When an application is triggered, it can cause latency as the application starts. Dynatrace news.

As companies accelerate digital transformation, they implement modern cloud technologies like serverless functions. According to Flexera , serverless functions are the number one technology evaluated by enterprises and one of the top five cloud technologies in use at enterprises. And serverless support is a core capability.

Whether you’re running an e-commerce site or a streaming platform, your end goal is to provide an experience so smooth that your users forget they’re interacting with technology. Latency is a concept that increases with distance, so a signal that has to travel 1,000 KM will be much faster compared to a signal sprinting for that 100,000 KM.
