TYPES OF DEPLOYMENT HOSTS

Physical Host Virtual Private Server Docker Function as a Service

FUNCTION AS A SERVICE

Function is a unit of deployment Execute only when need No server maintainance

VENDORS

S3, SES, DynamoDB, Kinesis, CloudWatch

HTTP WebHook HTTP Triger API Gateway

FEATURES

Run code without server Just upload the code and run

Only pay what you need No wasted CPU usage

Event driven model Can handle event sent from other component

Programming Languages Support Java, Python, Javascript, etc...

PROS

Reduced Development Cost Only develop what is needed

Reduced Operational Cost Reduced manpower for managing servers

PROS

Easier Deployment Packaging, startup scripts, env setting

Easier Monitoring Vendor provide monitoring like time, bandwidth,

#request Easier Unit Testing

Only test the function

CONS

Vendor Lock Hard to switch vendor (for now)

Multitenancy Problem Share machine with other client

Configuration Hard to configure the CPU, memory, etc

CONS

Vendor Control Have to adjust with updates from vendor

Server Optimization Cannot optimize server, only in code

Integration Testing Has to rely testing in the cloud instead of own
