Provides stable performance and scalability but not intuitive for data modeling
Overall, I would rate it around six out of ten. The training environment wasn't very intuitive, but maybe with more use, it will get better. We need to learn to navigate it. So, there is a potential learning curve in this tool. I use it once in a blue moon, and not very frequently because I have not found it very intuitive.

Serverless workflows have boosted rapid AWS development but still need better CI and automation
Serverless has many advantages, and it is very easy to handle with a cloud solution. However, there are a few concerns about the limitations. Especially when I work with Lambdas, there are maximum Lambda timeouts. Likewise, there are several things from Serverless, such as maximum file uploads. Serverless can be improved by addressing the challenges faced when we have the first infrastructure. Sometimes it is hard because we need to manually create things such as Cognito pools. While 90 percent of the time is automated, more automation would be better. If Serverless provided CI/CD capabilities, that would also be great, as currently it only allows for manual deployments. Additionally, when working with cloud services, Serverless allows the use of LocalStack or Serverless Dev, but I think Serverless Dev might need simplification for easy access without organization registration. When considering needed improvements, I get frustrated with Lambda time and similar issues, which are actually not related to Serverless but rather are AWS issues. However, when discussing Serverless, the main points I see require improvement from the Serverless end.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is a stable solution."
"Snapshots are the most valuable feature."
"Serverless offers easy scalability whenever I want it, with no problem when there are many requests."
"In terms of time or cost saved compared to before using Serverless, I save approximately 60 percent of my development time because everything is very lightweight and gives me the freedom to work within Serverless."
"Serverless has positively impacted my organization because I can deploy without any downtime in the majority of cases."
"Making use of Serverless has at least helped us save 50% in cost spending on resources."
"Serverless has positively impacted my organization by shifting our focus from infrastructure management to pure product delivery."
"Serverless impacts my organization positively in many ways by enabling us to easily debug issues when any pipelines break; we can get errors, debug them, and address issues."
"Serverless positively impacts my organization by being really cost-effective and serving as a production performance testing tool, as we increase the load, it automatically increases the CPUs and RAM without needing any manual intervention or heavy servers for this type of testing."
"Serverless offers many best features; it is really easy to use, very developer-friendly, and has a great community."
 

Cons

"Scalability as a standalone system is good, given the information that has been described inside Ardoq. But not the scalability as a third-party system or with integration with other systems. Because in this direction, the scalability is about zero for Ardoq."
"The training environment wasn't very intuitive, but maybe with more use, it will get better."
"Improving Serverless is a difficult question because I am not deeply familiar with Serverless, so it is really difficult for me to judge."
"The biggest challenges I have faced while adopting or using Serverless include the different syntax, syntactical understanding, and the steep learning curve with team members."
"I would say in the debugging, we could maybe improve or in monitoring."
"I see that the local development setup in Serverless is more complex, so if you provide examples or automation that we can test and deploy locally on a local machine, then automatically shifting all methods or functions into production would significantly improve efficiency."
"When that account was temporarily blocked for an unjustified reason on their side, it became an issue for our whole project and caused significant costs and loss of users because of that single incident."
"Serverless can be improved with more usage videos."
"I believe Serverless can be improved as I have faced some pain points and challenges."
"Serverless can be improved by effectively handling large scale applications, as large scale applications would save more money."
