Serverless Edge Computing

Serverless Computing refers to a process where services are provided to the developers by vendors on a need-to-use basis. Developers rent a function on a server when it is in use. A developer doesn't need to be concerned with the infrastructure needed in a serverless computing environment.

Generally, serverless computing is a type of cloud computing that allows developers to run their applications without worrying about the infrastructure. This can especially be very helpful in situations where you don’t have control over your hardware or servers and want to leverage the cloud instead. 

The idea behind serverless edge computing is similar: running code on devices connected directly with users or another gadget instead of using something like an internet connection or private network, hence the term edge.

Features Of Serverless Edge Computing

• Serverless Architecture: The software system is composed of multiple functions that can run in isolation from each other. Communication between functions can be achieved via service APIs.
• Fault-Tolerant: The system can tolerate failures at runtime due to its lightweight design.
• Stateless: Function instances are ephemeral and will disappear after completing their tasks or failing.
• Elastic: Meaning it scales automatically as usage increases or decreases. And it’s optimized for low latency, so there are no performance hiccups when using cloud services.
