Active-Passive Architecture vs Serverless Architecture
Developers should learn and use Active-Passive Architecture when building systems that require high availability and reliability, such as financial services, healthcare applications, or e-commerce platforms where downtime can lead to significant revenue loss or safety risks meets developers should learn serverless architecture for building scalable, cost-effective applications with minimal operational overhead, especially for event-driven workloads like apis, data processing, or iot. Here's our take.
Active-Passive Architecture
Developers should learn and use Active-Passive Architecture when building systems that require high availability and reliability, such as financial services, healthcare applications, or e-commerce platforms where downtime can lead to significant revenue loss or safety risks
Active-Passive Architecture
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use Active-Passive Architecture when building systems that require high availability and reliability, such as financial services, healthcare applications, or e-commerce platforms where downtime can lead to significant revenue loss or safety risks
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable in scenarios with strict uptime requirements (e
- +Related to: high-availability, disaster-recovery
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Serverless Architecture
Developers should learn serverless architecture for building scalable, cost-effective applications with minimal operational overhead, especially for event-driven workloads like APIs, data processing, or IoT
Pros
- +It's ideal for microservices, batch jobs, and scenarios with unpredictable traffic, as it eliminates server management and reduces time-to-market
- +Related to: aws-lambda, azure-functions
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Active-Passive Architecture if: You want it is particularly valuable in scenarios with strict uptime requirements (e and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Serverless Architecture if: You prioritize it's ideal for microservices, batch jobs, and scenarios with unpredictable traffic, as it eliminates server management and reduces time-to-market over what Active-Passive Architecture offers.
