Step 1: Identifying a use case fit
- [Instructor] Finding a good use case for serverless computing is the first step in building serverless applications. Let's talk about what that means exactly. First, assess your workload characteristics. Examine your workloads, computational duration, ideally targeted processes that run from seconds to minutes. Analyze traffic patterns, particularly those focusing on variable rather than consistent workloads. Consider your memory and processing requirements and determine whether your application can operate in a stateless manner as it is critical for serverless architectures. Review business value. Calculate the potential cost savings from adopting serverless computing, including reduced infrastructure management cost. Consider the operational overhead reduction and improved time to market benefits. Evaluate how automatic scaling could impact your business goals and assess the financial implications of pay-per-use pricing models. Evaluate technical fit. Review whether your preferred…
