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.

There could be improvement in connecting to and securing this connection. Spark is not up to date on its Insight dashboard compared to competitors, but this impacts the digital experience. It is important for the team to continue working on this tool without disruption. So maybe this is an area for improvement to have a better Insight.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There is a huge impact as my traffic gets auto-adjusted, I do not have to worry about whether my server is capable of handling the traffic or not, Serverless servers are much more capable, and I just need to pay for whatever I am using."
"Serverless has saved me a lot of money and time in my organization."
"Serverless has positively impacted my organization because the outcome was very positive in most of the projects we used it, especially with the fast delivery made possible by clear boundaries for each function and the ability to resize the team constantly without needing to think too much about that, while the price remains very reasonable."
"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 easy scalability whenever I want it, with no problem when there are many requests."
"Previously, when we were deploying it on VPS, our whole day was spent on setting up a VPS and setting up all the CI/CD pipelines, but with Serverless it is instant and in just 10 to 15 minutes you are up and running."
"Making use of Serverless has at least helped us save 50% in cost spending on resources."
"I can share specific metrics indicating Serverless's positive impact: I achieved 100% uptime, an impressive feat compared to traditional servers that often experience downtime during peak usage."
"The solution's most valuable feature is ArchiMate which I use daily."
"We have found the technical support to be helpful."
"The solution works well for me and I recommend it."
"Sharing my diagrams with a large community of people is easy, as it's user-friendly on the web."
 

Cons

"Serverless can be improved with more usage videos."
"Serverless is pretty much stable, but I believe the only downside is when it has to do some kind of cold warming, which might actually take some time."
"Serverless is not completely effective for large-scale applications."
"Serverless is not suited for production environments."
"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."
"The scalability of Serverless is limited; as you increase your code, it is not scalable, and we need to think out of the box to solve several problems."
"I choose eight out of ten because to go ahead with Serverless, we need to do YAML file creation and other format file creation."
"We have been using this framework for a long time but now feel the cost is expensive, so we need to improve in this area."
"The user-friendliness could be even better."
"The solution should allow easier access with enhanced customization options for web page DHTML."
