Serverless computing and traditional computing are two distinct approaches to software development and deployment. This webinar compares the key differences between the two, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages.
Key Differences
Infrastructure Management
- Serverless Computing: The cloud provider manages the server infrastructure, allowing developers to focus on writing code.
- Traditional Computing: Developers are responsible for managing and maintaining the servers.
Scalability
- Serverless Computing: Automatically scales based on demand, providing high availability and low latency.
- Traditional Computing: Requires manual scaling and can be more complex to manage.
Cost
- Serverless Computing: Only pay for the resources used, potentially reducing costs.
- Traditional Computing: Fixed costs for server hardware and maintenance.
Advantages of Serverless Computing
- Reduced Infrastructure Costs
- Increased Developer Productivity
- Scalability on Demand
Advantages of Traditional Computing
- Full Control Over Infrastructure
- Better Performance for Certain Applications
Conclusion
Both serverless computing and traditional computing have their own strengths and weaknesses. The choice between the two depends on the specific needs of your project.

Serverless Computing Architecture
In serverless computing, the cloud provider manages the server infrastructure, abstracting away the complexities of server management. This allows developers to focus on writing code and delivering value to their users.
