In summary, time spent on maintenance and ongoing operations is diminished
in serverless applications, as this is fully managed by the cloud provider. As
such, the roles of a dedicated operations team will need to evolve. Serverless
architectures also provide infinite scalability and built-in high availability,
which are additional efforts and costs in a traditional environment. When we
compare only infrastructure costs across the platforms we may determine that
a traditional model is cost-effective. However, when we layer on the additional
benefits and cost savings of a serverless model, organizations can save
significantly by constructing applications and overall organizational structures
to effectively leverage a serverless architecture.
