Serverless computing is a cloud computing architecture that allows developers to build and run applications without the need for server management. It also allows applications to scale based on demand and be billed based on usage.
In terms of the Java tech stack, serverless computing allows the use of Java functions or so-called "serverless functions". These functions can be written in a programming language such as Java and are executed by a serverless platform such as AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions or Microsoft Azure Functions.
To integrate a Java function into a serverless architecture, the function must be created as an independent, executable JAR file. The JAR file is then deployed and executed in the serverless platform. The serverless platform is responsible for starting and stopping instances to execute the function.
A key benefit of serverless computing is the ability to scale automatically and seamlessly. When an application needs more resources to handle a higher number of requests, the serverless platform can automatically launch additional instances to meet the demands. When demand drops, these instances are automatically terminated to save costs.
In summary, serverless computing provides a scalable, cost-effective, and maintenance-free way to build and run applications. Integrating Java capabilities into a serverless architecture allows developers to scale applications based on demand while leveraging the benefits of the Java programming language.
