Fauna + AWS | Debunking Serverless Misconceptions featuring Serverless Guru

Building a serverless architecture offers tremendous benefits, but it’s not without its challenges. While a well-designed serverless system can eliminate infrastructure management, optimize costs, and accelerate feature development, it also requires overcoming several obstacles to ensure cost-efficiency, scalability, and resilience. In this session, experts from Serverless Guru, Fauna, and AWS will share valuable insights and best practices for constructing scalable, secure, and efficient serverless applications. They will guide you through common pitfalls, explain how to unlock the full potential of serverless technologies, and help your business achieve true infrastructure independence. Faux Serverless: Many organizations claim to be serverless but still rely on manual provisioning and infrastructure management. A true serverless approach eliminates this overhead, enabling businesses to focus their resources on innovation and core business functions rather than infrastructure. Challenges and Complexities: While serverless offers a usage-based billing model, it comes with complexities like managing state and scaling databases. Many organizations that adopt serverless hit scaling and cost challenges as usage grows, particularly with managing state and scaling. Benefits of True Serverless: We will unfold what true serverless means, and how it actually delivers on the promise of zero infrastructure management. Achieving Cost-Savings: We will walk through strategies that ensure you are deploying the right tools and processes that align your IT expenses with actual demand for your services.
