Demystifying Serverless vs. Server/EKS/Fargate - When to Use Each
In this video we are going to demystify Serverless and compare it to other ways of running cloud services.
Key Points:
Serverless (e.g., AWS Lambda):
Event-driven; pay only when code runs.
Limited by 15-minute max execution, ephemeral storage, and AWS constraints.
Best for short, scalable tasks.
Traditional Servers:
Long-running, highly customizable, with persistent storage.
Pay for uptime, even during idle periods.
Ideal for complex, flexible systems.
Hybrid Options (e.g., AWS Fargate):
Mix of server and serverless benefits with managed orchestration.
Best Practices:
Use event-driven architecture for scalability and resilience, for Server and "Serverless" services.
Start with managed Kubernetes (EKS) for complex apps, then adapt as needed.
