Adopting serverless? Awesome! But have you thought about how to keep it secure?

Many companies are starting to test and use serverless solutions or what is called FaaS (Functions-as-a-Services). They can build new applications and innovate in some of the old apps to get the best of performance and agility for their customers and allow them to have the most cost-efficient cloud environments too. Some good examples of companies using FaaS models today are The Coca-Cola Company, Finra, iRobot, Autodesk, and other big corporations across the globe.

Why are many companies migrating applications to serverless? Below are some of the most significant advantages of serverless functions:

• No servers to provision or manage
• Never pay for idle
• Faster usage-based scaling
• Built-in availability and fault tolerance

This type of technology allows companies to write fast and small units of code associated with event-based execution making things much simpler for DevOps teams. They can deploy new code or apps without worrying about which on-premise or cloud infrastructure it is running. The functions are executed when it is needed; this way, you don’t need to be running the servers all the time while the applications are idle and not being requested by any users.
