WHAT IS SERVERLESS COMPUTING?

Serverless is an approach to computing that offloads responsibility for common infrastructure management tasks (e.g., scaling, scheduling, patching, provisioning, etc.) to cloud providers and tools, allowing engineers to focus their time and effort on the business logic specific to their applications or process.

The most useful way to define and understand serverless is focusing on the handful of core attributes that distinguish serverless computing from other compute models, namely:

• The serverless model requires no management and operation of infrastructure, enabling developers to focus more narrowly on code/custom business logic.
• Serverless computing runs code only on-demand on a per-request basis, scaling transparently with the number of requests being served.
• Serverless computing enables end users to pay only for resources being used, never paying for idle capacity.

Serverless is fundamentally about spending more time on code, less on infrastructure.

IBM Cloud gives you the highest performing cloud infrastructure available. One platform that takes data centres around the world that are full of the widest range of cloud computing options, and then integrates and automates everything.

• Datacentre consolidation – bring all your requirements to one place
• Capacity issues – burst outward with flexibility and scalability
• Disaster recovery options – you pick your location for this
• Current skills remain valid – we do the transition and your staff can use their existing skills to roll out with our help
• Route to market solution – best option for a smooth transfer
