Serverless Hosting
Serverless hosting is a cloud computing execution model where cloud providers dynamically manage the allocation and provisioning of servers, allowing developers to build and run applications without managing infrastructure. It enables automatic scaling, high availability, and pay-per-use billing based on actual resource consumption. This model abstracts server management, letting developers focus solely on writing code for functions or applications.
Developers should use serverless hosting for event-driven applications, APIs, and microservices where traffic is variable or unpredictable, as it eliminates the need to provision or scale servers manually. It's ideal for cost efficiency in low-traffic scenarios, rapid prototyping, and backend services that require high scalability without operational overhead. Common use cases include webhooks, data processing pipelines, and real-time file processing.
