Leverage serverless computing to pay only for what you use while eliminating infrastructure management overhead.
The serverless promise
Serverless platforms like AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Google Cloud Functions execute code on demand without provisioning or managing servers. You pay per execution, not idle capacity.
This model is ideal for event-driven workloads, API backends, data processing, and applications with variable traffic patterns.
Cost and scaling benefits
Eliminate over-provisioned servers running at 10% utilisation. Serverless auto-scales from zero to thousands of concurrent executions based on demand.
Reduced operational overhead means engineering teams focus on product features instead of server patching and capacity planning.
Architectural considerations
Design for stateless, short-lived functions. Cold start latency matters for user-facing APIs — provisioned concurrency and language choice mitigate delays.
Combine serverless with managed databases, queues, and storage for fully managed, scalable application stacks.
When serverless fits
Microservices, webhook handlers, scheduled tasks, and data transformation pipelines are strong serverless candidates.
Emirates ITS architects serverless solutions that optimise cost, performance, and maintainability for your specific workload patterns.
