Solution
Serverless architectures allow developers to build and deploy applications without managing servers. The cloud provider automatically allocates resources as needed, and developers pay only for actual usage.
Impact on development:
- Developers focus on writing code rather than provisioning infrastructure.
- Scalability is handled by the provider.
- Operational complexity is reduced.
- Cost can be lower because unused idle servers are not paid for (cost savings).
Example: AWS Lambda lets developers run code without provisioning or managing servers. This is the service model that enables application deployment without server management.
