Serverless Platform

Path towards zero-maintenance infrastructure

3 August 2021

Platform

• Isolated
• Efficient
• Easy to use
• Zero-maintenance
• Cheap

Services

• Small
• Self-contained
• Do one thing and do it well
• Preferably internal ones
• Effort to deploy should be smaller than the effort to build it

Provider Platforms

• AWS Lambda
• Google Cloud Functions
• Google Cloud Run
• Cloudflare Workers

Cloudflare Workers

• Probably the only truly serverless platform out there
• If you have to think about datacenters or regions, it's not serverless
• If you have to care about containers, it's not serverless
• If you have to pre-define CPU or memory, it's not serverless
• If you have to pre-allocate a datastore, it's not serverless
• Experience is centered around writing code
• Paradigm is so different that it wouldn't be a competitor to our current or future regular Cloud-based infrastructure
