Scaling serverless vs. server-based applications

- [Instructor] Considering scaling serverless versus server-based application architectures on AWS is actually a key consideration throughout this course. Serverless is a relatively new architecture, and there is not a lot of information on how to apply the bilities, so in this course, scalability. But also availability, securability, so-on and so forth, to serverless applications. And what I'm finding is that these new applications are providing great value. So how do they do that? Serverless is a cheaper service cost, and let's take an example of Compute with Lambda. We've got, of course, time-sliced managed docker containers, versus EC2 full virtual machines. So significantly cheaper service cost, and this is not only for Compute. We have it for a semi-structured data in the case of DynamoDB, we have it for file storage in the case of S3. More and more, not only Amazon, but all the major cloud vendors are moving towards serverless services. Importantly for our bility here, which is…
