The New Stack | How, and When, to Deploy Serverless
Blog post from InfluxData
The deployment of serverless platforms is a topic of increasing interest as these platforms become more popular, with advantages including improved agility and cost savings. While acknowledging the benefits, the author also notes that there are hurdles ahead for serverless to become mainstream. Serverless is not necessarily tied to or exclusive to Kubernetes or microservices platforms, but can be used in conjunction with them, as noted by David Simmons, IoT Developer Evangelist at InfluxData. According to Simmons, serverless is well-suited for deploying small and specific functions within an application, whereas Kubernetes is better suited for larger, more complex applications.
