How does serverless make more sense for a simple web api than a traditional web framework?
- skyde 5y ago-cheaper (dont have a vm running 24/7 just for you) -Easier to auto-scale because it does not have any state -Can easily run at the Edge (look into lambda at edge of cloudflare worker)
- manquer 5y agoAdding on to the other points. - Zero to very minimal devops / syadmin knowledge required. - Monitoring and few other important tooling is usually out of the box - Add on / Related services in serverless stacks like vercel/netlify etc also handles email/auth type components, a framework will only provider library for these, implementation is in developer hands. - Simplified deployment : most services can sync with Git repos, provide one click deploy and have simple CLI binaries .
