Turbocharge Your DevOps with Serverless Computing

  


Serverless computing has a growing fan base. More and more independent software vendors (ISVs) and enterprises are adopting it. Why do you think that is? Could it be because it runs event-driven functions independent of managed hardware or software stacks, or is there more?

 

Serverless computing is a cloud-based functionality where the cloud provider responsibly manages the servers. This gives developers the freedom to invest their energy in building applications without fretting over managing a complex cloud infrastructure. All the mundane cloud computing tasks are taken care of by the cloud provider so that the developers can devote their skillsets to developing innovative solutions.

 

Serverless computing can aid in the acceleration of engineering processes at a lower cost and with less reliance on resources. Imagine the way it could fuel your DevOps! Right from streamlining processes to eliminating pipeline management tasks, DevOps teams can make great use of serverless architecture.

 

Let us take a deeper look at what makes serverless computing so appealing.

 

DevOps Automation: The Next Level of Efficiency

Serverless computing can help DevOps teams automate complete processes and swiftly release patches and updates. Automating the infrastructure tasks with the help of events and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) also becomes possible for them. They also don’t require hosted solutions while deploying the pipelines. Serverless platforms, such as Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), relieve developers of the burden of resource provisioning and scaling.

Cost Control: Usage Flexibility

Pay-as-you-go model in serverless computing allows the DevOps teams to pay only when they execute a code or test one in a serverless system. Idle resources are not charged. The teams can operate in different environments to develop and test operational processes crucial to successful software delivery.

Added Agility: Continuous Development and Deployment

ISVs and enterprises have seen a swift transformation due to DevOps because of the improved synchrony between the operations and development teams. Serverless DevOps takes it a step further by presenting an environment for continuous development and deployment. AWS Serverless Computing is a Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platform that allows application creation, execution, and scaling without the developers having to manage any of the infrastructure. They can, in fact, write and execute modular code pieces in response to an event.

The main purpose of serverless computing is to help the DevOps teams focus their skillsets on developing and improving a product in an environment that supports continuous improvement. Developers can quickly roll out updates that reflect in all environments thanks to faster release cycles.

Optimized DevOps Operations: Increased Productivity

Serverless DevOps breaks down silos between the operations and development teams and promotes cross-functional collaboration. As a result, teams handle mundane tasks swiftly and can go-to-market faster. With the help of third-party services that cloud service providers offer, serverless DevOps can easily manage routine functionalities like writing codes to manage ops.

Continuous Deployment: Simplified Delivery Processes

Despite DevOps enabling continuous deployment, there are many ISVs and enterprises still struggling with its adoption because of numerous challenging, one of them being managing code changes and making them live in the production stage. Serverless computing can tackle it head on. Any changes made to the mainline code get automatically reflected across all environments with serverless computing. Cloud providers help with scaling and provisioning, so the developers are free to put their energies into testing and deploying the code.

More than 74% of enterprises are already using DevOps to speed up their development processes. Serverless computing helps eliminate the limitations in DevOps and makes way for operational success.

Wrapping It Up!

DevOps evolution points to serverless computing, and rightfully so because it helps enterprises and ISVs optimize delivery and deployment of products faster than ever before, all while maintaining the core principles of DevOps. Building, testing, and running applications without having to think about server capacity or maintenance brings out the potential of developers that otherwise remains untapped.

Xoriant believes in the power of DevOps. With Xoriant’s DevOps Center of Excellence, we want to bring out the best for enterprises and ISVs in CI/CD, infrastructure automation, and code management.

ML and Analytics in Proactive Cybersecurity: What to Expect

Image
  Business operation today are largely being carried out through hybrid or remote work models. Though this situation might change soon, it is hard to predict exactly when it will completely come to an end. As a result, the number and complexity of cyber-attacks are increasing. Some, like the Nvidia employee credentials leak, the cyberattack on the Costa Rican Government and the Bernalillo Country, New Mexico came into the limelight in 2022. According a 2022 IBM Report , the surveyed businesses lost $4.35 million per incident to data breaches. Ransomware has wreaked havoc on several enterprises and continues to be a potent business threat for many. Cybercrime might cost global enterprises $10.5 trillion annually by 2025. (Source: IDC) The cybersecurity landscape is constantly getting remolded to accommodate the new remote work model.
