Serverless Architecture

A serverless architecture is a way to build and run applications and services without having to manage infrastructure. Your application still runs on servers, but all the server management is done by AWS. You no longer have to provision, scale, and maintain servers to run your applications, databases, and storage systems.

By using a serverless architecture, you can focus on the core product instead of worrying about managing and operating servers or runtimes, either in the cloud or on-premises. This reduced overhead lets developers reclaim time and energy that can be spent on developing great products which scale and that are reliable.

Forget about servers

With Lambda your team focus on writing code. AWS will take care of provisioning and managing the servers for you.

Pay for compute time

Only pay for compute time used by your services. You don't have to pay for any idle infrastructure.

Scale when required

AWS will scale your application up or down in response to events to run your code.

Consistent performance

Optimize your code performance by allocating the right memory size for each function.

Serverless with Lambda

AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers.

Lambda and API Gateway are very powerful for Web Services and at Francioni we have helped organisations deliver their Digital transformation using Lambda services that will not only process the necessary logic and data from AWS Cloud, but it will also integrate to Legacy systems and Enterprise Databases to deliver the best user experience.

Lambda can be used for a variety of scenarios, for example: you can use Lambda to execute code in response to triggers such as changes in data; you can use S3 to trigger Lambda to process data immediately after an upload; you can use Lambda and Kinesis to process real-time streaming data for application activity tracking; you can use Lambda to preprocess data before feeding it to your machine learning model; you can build serverless backends using Lambda to handle web, mobile, Internet of Things (IoT), and 3rd party API requests.

By combining AWS Lambda with other AWS services, developers can build powerful web applications that automatically scale up and down and run in a highly available configuration across multiple data centers – with zero administrative effort required for scalability, back-ups or multi-data center redundancy.

Francioni is an AWS Lambda partner and we offer support for modernisation, operational optimisation, cost management & more. Our team of Architects, Developers and DevOps have experience delivering Serverless solutions using Node.js, Python, Typescript and Java.

Observability

Performance monitoring is a crucial part when running serverless applications. Serverless applications are highly distributed with business workflows and data spread across multiple managed services and APIs. As a result, in order to make sure that everything is running correctly in production you'd need full observability into the application that will help you find the root cause, and troubleshoot quickly.
