Serverless computing is a modern cloud-based application architecture in which the application’s infrastructure and support services layer are completely abstracted from the software layer. While every application still relies on physical servers to run, serverless applications shift that responsibility to cloud service providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Three key facts about serverless reliability

Apr 8, 2025 By Andre Newman In Gremlin
Serverless computing requires a significant shift in how organizations think about deploying and managing applications. No longer do Ops teams need to think about provisioning servers, installing operating system patches, and writing shell scripts to manage deployments. While serverless takes away much of this responsibility, one aspect still needs to be handled thoughtfully: reliability. In this blog, we’ll look at three important facts about serverless reliability that teams often overlook.

How to observe AWS Lambda functions using the OpenTelemetry Collector and Grafana Cloud

Feb 18, 2025 By Dominik Süß In Grafana
Getting telemetry data out of modern applications is very straightforward—or at least it should be. You set up a collector that either receives data from your application or asks it to provide an up-to-date state of various counters. This happens every minute or so, and if it’s a second late or early, no one really bats an eye. But what if the application isn’t around for long? What if every second waiting for the data to be collected is billed?

Fargate Vs. Lambda: Understanding AWS Serverless Solutions

Jan 28, 2025 By CloudZero In CloudZero
Things are changing. Technology differences between serverless and container-based systems are rapidly blurring. In 2020, Amazon Web Services (AWS) enabled AWS Lambda to package and deploy functions as container images instead of bundling all of a function’s code and dependencies in a.zip file. Today, more organizations are increasingly deploying Lambda functions as Docker container images. These companies want to reap the benefits of serverless computing, containers, and container orchestration.
