With serverless computing, application developers can deploy code as functions instead of managing servers, and servers will be assigned based on demand. It uses the Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) model of cloud computing, making it simple for developers to package and deploy their code without worrying about the complicated server infrastructure.
One of the primary reasons for the rise in popularity of serverless technology is its ability to speed up the software development process. In addition, it enables developers to outsource server infrastructure administration to a Cloud Service Provider (CSP), which handles application functions. Servers are abstracted from application development in serverless, and the cloud provider is responsible for provisioning, maintaining, and growing the server infrastructure in response to deployed code events. However, the fundamental issue with serverless is that the CSP is only in charge of the security of the cloud, not the security within the cloud. This means that, in addition to traditional apps' risks and vulnerabilities, the serverless application has security concerns specific to the serverless architecture. ....read more!
