- +Related to: domain-management, server-administration
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Serverless Computing
Developers should learn serverless computing for building scalable, cost-effective applications with minimal operational overhead, especially for microservices, APIs, and event-driven workflows
Pros
- +It's ideal for use cases with variable or unpredictable traffic, such as web backends, data processing pipelines, and IoT applications, as it automatically scales and charges based on actual usage rather than pre-allocated resources
- +Related to: aws-lambda, azure-functions
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Web Hosting if: You want it is essential for projects requiring public online presence, such as e-commerce sites, blogs, or saas platforms, where factors like scalability, security, and cost-effectiveness are critical and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Serverless Computing if: You prioritize it's ideal for use cases with variable or unpredictable traffic, such as web backends, data processing pipelines, and iot applications, as it automatically scales and charges based on actual usage rather than pre-allocated resources over what Web Hosting offers.
