Serverless computing: Solutions, use cases, and best practices
By eliminating the need to configure, maintain, and scale servers, many organizations are turning to serverless computing to improve scalability and resource efficiency, respond to customer needs faster, provide an improved developer experience, and much more.
However, questions around when you should use serverless, which products to use where, and how it fits into your overall cloud architecture strategy prevent many organizations from realizing its value.
Check out our latest Architecture Framework Ask Me Anything session focused on answering these questions, including:
- Google’s recommended approach to serverless computing
- Which Google Cloud serverless products to use when (Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, App Engine and more)
- Practical use cases, including product walkthroughs
A complete event recap with written Q&A and supporting resources is coming soon... stay tuned! But if you have any questions for now, please add a comment below and we’d be happy to help.
