Why Serverless Architecture is Changing Software Development

" summary

Argues serverless runs code on demand with AWS Lambda and pays only for execution, not idle hours, and the first million requests per month can be free. Shows concrete stacks: Node functions zipped with npm deps, triggered by S3 uploads or DynamoDB changes to resize images or send welcome emails, and deployed with the Serverless Framework. Gives measurable wins: a web-scrape job drops from 8 hours to 4 minutes via concurrent Lambdas; demos include a low-cost MailChimp replica and a working social-network composed of microservices.
