Just like Blockchain profoundly challenged centralized banking and the way we handle financial transactions, serverless is now bringing cloud computing and application development to a whole new level. The benefits of serverless for both small and large businesses have been widely discussed in countless articles across the web, but what about its larger potential to transform organisations? Here’s why we think that serverless is the next big thing.
One of the key advantages of serverless is its pay-per-use system. Instead of a fixed monthly or annual server fee where the actual use is not taken into account, with serverless you are charged only for the actual amount of resources consumed by an application. You no longer have to pay for what you don’t really need.
In addition, serverless helps you save money and time on server maintenance and continuous manual scaling. Why should you keep on paying to reinvent the wheel when there is a more efficient way – delegating server management to the provider.
Thanks to serverless developers don’t have to worry about managing the server or deal with capacity planning, monitoring, scaling and troubleshooting. As a result, more time and resources can be dedicated to much more important things, like improving the user experience of your applications. Users don’t care how much effort you put into maintaining your infrastructures. All that matters to them are the features and whether they are easy and comfortable to use. Focusing on user experience is a considerable shift which can benefit both the business and the users.
With server maintenance out of the way, it all comes down to just writing the code to run applications, which leads to much faster releases. This means that instead of weeks and months we are talking about hours and days to release a new application. A faster release time allows businesses to be highly responsive and transform innovative ideas into actual solutions much quicker.
That’s not all. Serverless provides starting businesses with limited funds the possibility to develop services and products without immediately being charged for server capacities they are not using yet. Pay-per-use system gives a green light to getting new projects started even without having a large budget to invest in infrastructure.
With serverless technology computing is outsourced to cloud providers with high-performing servers. This results in continuous demand based auto-scaling, which offers fast performance and stability on a level that would otherwise be difficult to achieve.
Serverless is definitely not suitable for everyone, but for many software developers it can be exactly the kind of thing that makes a real change. Allowing to leave tedious and costly server management aside, it enables businesses to focus on their customers’ needs and create innovative solutions faster and more efficiently.
Today we are announcing a new, updated pricing model and the end of free tier for Dashbird.
In this article, we’re covering 4 tips for AWS Lambda optimization for production. Covering error handling, memory provisioning, monitoring, performance, and more.
In this article we’ll go through the ins and outs of AWS Lambda pricing model, how it works, what additional charges you might be looking at and what’s in the fine print.
Dashbird was born out of our own need for an enhanced serverless debugging and monitoring tool, and we take pride in being developers.
Dashbird gives us a simple and easy to use tool to have peace of mind and know that all of our Serverless functions are running correctly. We are instantly aware now if there’s a problem. We love the fact that we have enough information in the Slack notification itself to take appropriate action immediately and know exactly where the issue occurred.
Thanks to Dashbird the time to discover the occurrence of an issue reduced from 2-4 hours to a matter of seconds or minutes. It also means that hundreds of dollars are saved every month.
Great onboarding: it takes just a couple of minutes to connect an AWS account to an organization in Dashbird. The UI is clean and gives a good overview of what is happening with the Lambdas and API Gateways in the account.
I mean, it is just extremely time-saving. It’s so efficient! I don’t think it’s an exaggeration or dramatic to say that Dashbird has been a lifesaver for us.
Dashbird provides an easier interface to monitor and debug problems with our Lambdas. Relevant logs are simple to find and view. Dashbird’s support has been good, and they take product suggestions with grace.
Great UI. Easy to navigate through CloudWatch logs. Simple setup.
Dashbird helped us refine the size of our Lambdas, resulting in significantly reduced costs. We have Dashbird alert us in seconds via email when any of our functions behaves abnormally. Their app immediately makes the cause and severity of errors obvious.
