Containers vs. Serverless

Cloud computing has been transforming every aspect of business especially now that companies can handle pretty much every aspect of their business virtually, you don’t need server racks or data centers any longer.

There are three key drivers for companies to move to cloud:

Mobility = Access to data from anywhere

Agility = moving data closer where it is needed with easy access to data

Disaster Recovery = Workloads are deployed and replicated across different physical data centers and different geo’s with accessibility from anywhere

Let’s take a look at what are the key differences between these two key pieces of technology that are being consumed as hot cakes :)

Serverless is an approach to a computing model and architecture where common tasks as patching, provisioning, scaling are offloaded to cloud providers and let engineers focus their efforts on improving the core business logic of the application.

Containers are Linux processes with additional configuration added.
