Serverless vs. Microservices architecture: How to choose

Serverless vs. Microservices architecture:

=======================================

How you approach their development, their management and their architecture.

The Microservices pattern versus functions microservice communication and design what does the future of business computing look

However, we are building the large and complex microservice-based applications for a Property management system for hotels (for example, when handling hundereds of microservice types)

How do we develop an Microservices I.e microservice architecture or Serverless functions which one best option?

How can client apps minimize the number of requests to the back end and reduce chatty communication to multiple microservices?

How can you handle cross-cutting concerns such as authorization, data transformations, and dynamic request dispatching?

How can client apps communicate with services that use non-Internet-friendly protocols?

How can you shape a facade especially made for mobile apps?

How can we provide the single sign on to all my serverless fuctions if we go with azure fuctions?

Microservices architecture has been an extremely popular approach so far due to several benefits: faster project delivery, flexibility, productivity, scalability, etc. Read this article to find out more about advantages of microservices architecture: https://www.cleveroad.com/blog/benefits-of-microservices-architecture

Good morning Ramkrishna, As I know about these technologies for Azure, I can share these with you. It might be helpful to you. Why Is Serverless the Future? A few folks may remember that Azure started out with PaaS back in 2010 as Microsoft believed customers should spend their precious time with developing their applications; not needing to care about the underlying infrastructure. At this time, the market was just not there as many customers tried to figure out what that “cloud” thing was and, as a result, the adoption of PaaS was just not there. Eight years later, the entire cloud market has matured and with it the notion of how to build cloud-native applications. Serverless and microservices have replaced containers and DevOps as buzzwords. Nowadays, every cloud provides a FaaS offering, which is on the forefront of serverless computing. One of the promises of the cloud is to offer infinite scale, better infrastructure management and better economics demanded new ways to think about how to run applications. More mature customers are not only “rediscovering” the value of PaaS, but also want to take it to a new level, where infrastructure and its necessary management does not play a role at all - this is what serverless is all about. Bottom line is that customers, economics and technology advancements will push for serverless being the future of modern cloud-native application development. Azure offers a great home for serverless workloads, but inventions and new technologies such as Virtual Kubelet and Service Fabric Mesh will enable microservices-based applications on serverless infrastructure to become mainstream. So, you can go with serverless. Thanks.
