By leveraging AWS Lambda, we can deploy and scale our applications without managing…

This blog will dive into serverless technology, and compare it to traditional server-based applications. We will look at the benefits and challenges of serverless technology, and compare the cost of running a serverless application with a traditional server-based application. …
