Serverless architecture is growing rapidly due to its benefits such as abstracting away infrastructure management and provisioning, allowing developers to focus on building differentiating features and creating great app experiences. The concept of serverless has evolved from virtualization to containerization to cloud computing, with early iterations having limitations such as cold starts and resource restrictions. Today's serverless solutions have overcome these issues and offer traits like no server management, flexible scaling, pay for value, high availability, and event-driven workflows. While developers still need to learn how to use the services, serverless is expected to be the future of app development due to its ability to spin up independent stacks without worrying about other services running on them. MongoDB Atlas Serverless has been announced as a general availability solution that delivers fast and responsive databases with consumption-based pricing and cloud flexibility.
