Introduction to containerization and serverless computing
Containerization has been a game-changer for software delivery. It originates from the concept of isolating application environments within a single operating system. For developers, it primarily addresses the it works on my machine problem, ensuring consistency across various environments. Containerization gained immense popularity with the advent of Docker in 2013, offering an efficient and lightweight alternative to traditional virtualization.
Serverless computing, on the other hand, is a newer paradigm that abstracts server management and infrastructure decisions away from the developers. Launched with AWS Lambda in 2014, it introduced a way to execute code in response to events without needing to manage the underlying compute resources.
Both these technologies are not just game-changers in terms of technical capabilities – they also drastically streamline the process of software development and deployment....
