Understanding Serverless Computing in the Modern Cloud Era What is Serverless? This is a crucial question in the modern era of cloud computing, as serverless represents a paradigm shift in software development.
In the pre-cloud computing era, we primarily thought about applications that run constantly. For instance, an Apache web service would be running continuously, even without incoming requests. This approach leads to significant inefficiencies.
The Inefficiency of Always-On Systems Consider a modern house: you wouldn’t want the lights running 24⁄7.
Abstract This book is designed to give you a comprehensive view of cloud computing including Big Data and Machine Learning. A variety of learning resources will be used including interactive labs on Cloud Platforms (Google, AWS, Azure) using Python. This is a project-based book with extensive hands-on assignments.
