What are the use cases for serverless architectures and what kinds of architectures and patterns are useful? We’re often asked these questions and queried about use cases as people learn about a serverless approach to designing systems. We find that it’s helpful to look at how others have applied this technology and what kinds of use cases, designs, and architectures they’ve produced.
This chapter gives you a solid introduction to where serverless architectures are a good fit and how to think about the design of serverless systems. The rest of the book focuses on real-world use cases and goes deep into a number of serverless architectures that we’ve found particularly fascinating.
Serverless technologies and architectures can be used to build entire systems, create isolated components, or implement specific granular tasks. The scope for use of serverless design is broad, and one of its advantages is that it’s possible to use it for small as well as large tasks alike. We’ve designed serverless systems that power web and mobile applications for tens of thousands of users, and we’ve built simple systems to solve specific minute problems.

Figure 3.10 The compute-as-glue architecture uses Lambda functions to connect different services and APIs to achieve a task. In this pipeline, a simple image transformation results in a new file, an update to a database, an update to a search service, and a new entry to a log service.

- Serverless architecture can support different use cases including building backends for web, mobile, and IoT applications, as well as data processing and analytics.
- Serverless technologies like AWS Lambda are flexible. They can be combined with containers or virtual machines into hybrid architectures. You don’t need to be a serverless purist to achieve great outcomes.
- Certain patterns and approaches like GraphQL are well suited to serverless architectures because AWS services such as AppSync are on hand and can integrate nicely with the rest of your architecture.
- Classic software engineering patterns like messaging patterns work exceptionally well with serverless architectures and AWS products such as SQS.
- The fan-out pattern is one of the more common patterns. Knowing how to set it up using Amazon SNS is important to be effective with AWS.
- AWS has a lot of different services and products that overlap. Having a thorough understanding of when to use each service will help you make better decisions.
