Established methods and repeatable solutions addressing recurring challenges in designing and implementing applications within a serverless computing environment. These provide blueprints for structuring code, managing state, handling events, and integrating different services. An example includes the “Event-Driven Architecture,” where functions are triggered by events from various sources, promoting loose coupling and scalability.
The application of these structured approaches offers multiple advantages, improving the maintainability, scalability, and resilience of serverless applications. They also accelerate development by providing reusable components and reducing the need for custom solutions to common problems. Historically, serverless architectures evolved from traditional monolithic and microservices architectures, driven by the need for cost optimization, reduced operational overhead, and improved resource utilization.
