New guide for “Serverless”

[maximilien]

New guide request

Serverless is a novel approach to creating cloud software that truly only consumes the resources that are needed. This encompasses serverless containers as well as functions-as-a-service (FaaS).

There is a slew of OSS projects to help solve Serverless architecture in the cloud, e.g., Knative, OpenWhisk, OpenFaaS, and many more.

This guide would not only give hints to what use cases are best suited for serverless, e.g., batch processing, APIs, websites, etc. but would also list various alternatives to solving “serverless” using Open Source technologies.

Use case

• Deploying scalable APIs — only consuming resources on API calls
• Deploying scalable Website — only consuming resources based on request flow
• Batch processing — computation with AI models
• …

And many more.
