“All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection.” — David WheelerIn a series of articles, Lucian Toader explores serverless computing, looking at it from a business perspective as well as from a developer’s point of view.We have come a long way since the 50s; mainframes and time-sharing were replaced by virtual machines and cloud computing, those in turn giving way to containers, with the creation of Docker. Each step until now has added a new layer of abstraction, simplifying provisioning and server management through increased automation, while bringing down costs by exploiting the commoditization of hardware, software and economies of scale.IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, and the missing linkAs information and communications technology (ICT) evolves, we are gaining (...)

Part 2: Apache OpenWhisk and IBM CloudYou’d Think I’d Worry About Baking Bread…Recall from Part 1 of this post — Serverless Computing with Swift: Swift and AWS Lambda — that I have decided to form a startup, It’s The Yeast I Can Do, an online bakery specializing in gourmet bread. My CLO (Chief Leavening Officer) is willing to go along with my prioritizing cloud infrastructure over actually baking product. But she’s concerned that we haven’t fully explored our options. In this article, I’ll re-write the code from Part 1 to run under Apache OpenWhisk.OpenWhisk is an open source platform for serverless computing. You can host it on your own servers, with or without containers (such as Docker). You can even run it on AWS. For this article, I will use IBM Cloud, the cloud services infrastructure formerly (...)

Most of the entrepreneurs (including me) have begun to worry less about IT infrastructure. Well, all thanks to the Cloud!At present, serverless computing is the most-talked-about topic in this context. In Google Trends, we saw a huge spike in web searches on serverless architecture. A minimum of 100 web searches on serverless architecture occurs on a daily basis.So, why is there a sudden interest in serverless computing? Is it just a fad or indeed a game-changer?Let’s have a close look!What is Serverless Computing?To newbies, the term serverless would probably shock them. Does this mean there are no servers? Yes, and no. In such an architecture, your (...)

Should your product be built as a monolith or consist of microservices from the start? When is the right time to adopt microservices? Why would you need to fall back?Microservices is the term that boomed lately and many businesses are considering moving to this software architecture. There are multiple opinions expressed on the benefits and necessity of moving from a monolith app to microservices or serverless computing. Using microservices can bring efficiency to workflows in finances, retail, consulting, banking, marketing, data analytics, and other industries.This Statista graph shows that microservices or serverless computing were already actively used in 11% of production deployments as of 2017, and 18% more of respondents named the adoption of this tech their top priority for (...)

Every month, new buzzwords are introduced in the world of technology. Some of these innovative technologies boost performance of applications, while some redefine the way in which products are made. Yet some others are given undue importance despite their overhype, and eventually wither away to netherworld. But not with serverless computing. That technology is here to stay.You spend a great deal of time building and deploying apps, but how much time do you spend in managing them?This is where serverless computing comes to the rescue, because, with its abstraction of operating systems, servers and infrastructure it can help solve many problems. The biggest advantage of serverless commuting is that there is no more provisioning or managing of physical servers.It is not that servers are (...)
