The Serverless Tidal Wave
summary
AWS claims serverless means no provisioning, built-in high availability and automatic horizontal scaling; Lambda launched in 2014 and now ties S3 triggers, API Gateway, Cloud9, X-Ray and the open-source SAM template + SAM translator for declarative deployment. Netflix parallelizes media processing; FINRA runs ~500 billion validations daily and cuts peak processing from minutes to about one minute using Lambda. AWS extends serverless to databases with Aurora Serverless and to containers with Fargate + Virtual Kubelet proof‑of‑concept.
