Serverless, also known as FaaS (Function as a Service), doesn't mean that there are no servers doing the heavy lifting; it's that users don't see or have to maintain the server, and don't care about the world it's in. Decimal has shared many serverless topics with you before, for example, thinking + case, the big coffee has studied serverless for 14 months, and the advantages and disadvantages are fully reflected! , as another example, the next star after containers, 8 things you need to know about serverless architecture . Today's article is mainly about the whereabouts of 2018 Serverless by 8 industry opinion leaders.
How are data workloads handled in so-called serverless IT systems?
Amazon's AWS Lambda is the biggest and best-known example of serverless computing, and its future is very enticing to many in IT. Lambda is an event-driven computing platform developed by Amazon that automatically triggers or executes code when a specific event occurs. Lambda executes code only when needed and automatically scales, providing potential cost savings and flexibility for businesses to handle some data processes and applications.
Amazon released Lambda in 2014 as a "serverless" platform for businesses to run code in the cloud, without the need for physical servers and without the need to provision or manage any servers on the enterprise side.
1. Serverless is the wave of the future
In terms of application code, AWS supports Node.js, Java, C#, and now Python, and as long as developers write code in one of these languages, the code can run in the Lambda runtime environment and utilize Lambda resources.
Amazon is not the only FaaS provider, others include Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, IBM OpenWhisk and the open source project Iron.io, and Webtask.
Serverless workload production is still in its infancy, but if the various prophets in the IT world are right, it will soon be growing before our eyes.
Here are some perspectives on the future of serverless from industry experts:
>>> > Sumo Logic: Serverless computing could be the future after containers
AWS adoption nearly doubled, from 12% in 2016 to 23% in 2017. The whole idea of serverless is that it moves microservices into the future by skipping containers and DevOps altogether. The fact that one in four developers is already using serverless is a strong signal for those following application architecture and adoption. IT leaders are already talking about DevOps, but serverless brings it to a whole new world of "NoOps" - where applications run in the cloud without infrastructure.
>>>> Dan Nydick, Technical Director, Avere Systems: We will see more serverless technologies and managed services
Businesses often spend a lot of time and effort managing computing infrastructure that is not at the heart of their mission and mission. One of the benefits of public cloud is that after migrating applications to the cloud, enterprises no longer need to manage this infrastructure. Cloud providers offer increasingly high levels of managed services, allowing customers to focus on their business without having to be distracted by virtual machines, web servers or database management.
We will see more use of managed, scalable web services (like Google App Engine and AWS Beanstalk) and serverless technologies (like AWS Lambda and Google CloudFunctions) as a more economical way to manage and deploy complex enterprise applications .
"We expect cloud providers to continue moving towards higher-level managed services, such as fully distributed database management (Google Cloud Spanner), and new capabilities for third parties to sell applications hosted in the public cloud (Azure Managed Apps). "
>>>> Atlassian Platform Lead Steve Deasy: How 2018 will change the way software is built
"Serverless frameworks will be welcome with support from the major cloud vendors." In addition, data-driven applications will continue to gain popularity, while support for engineers' needs will be supported by tools, infrastructure, and wrangling ) in the form of. As mentioned in "Mortal Kombat", Kubernetes will bring fatal disaster to the existing platform.
>>>> Evident.io CEO Tim Prendergast and VP of Client Solutions John Martinez: Containers and serverless computing increase, and they bring security concerns.
"In 2018, companies are going to go the way of cloud computing, and traditional host-based operating systems will become irrelevant or need to be redesigned." From a security standpoint, no one is really ready to secure all these containers and functional computing , but people still adopted it.
>>>> Contino Chairman Jason McDonald: Serverless adoption will continue to increase its impact.
“Serverless will move from the small corner of the cloud industry to the spotlight as it addresses the management of three key areas of IT: speed, cost and risk. In fact, Amazon launched AWS Fargate, an innovation that removes servers by removing , which dramatically changes the evolution of containers by eliminating the infrastructure management required to run ECS clusters.
Currently, at least one major U.S. bank is running enterprise-grade applications, a dedicated Lambda-based infrastructure that addresses cost and scale issues. There will be more and more stories like this in the future, with cloud-based stacks increasingly moving to serverless architectures.
>>>> Paul Stephenson, Technical Evangelist and Principal Systems Engineer, OVH US: It will be clearer which use cases serverless computing addresses.
"The technology is very exploratory right now, and event-driven technology continues." It's great to see what's happening in this space, because anything IT does can improve business performance while maintaining the same or lower Risk profile, which will drive companies to research and invest. "
>>>> Data Expedition CEO Seth Noble: Serverless will integrate with other technologies in 2018
Cloud providers leave customers and third parties with a number of key cloud migration elements. This creates hidden costs in key areas such as data entry, data organization, and application deployment. In 2018, we'll see more customers demanding practical solutions like true network acceleration, closing the gap between object storage and file storage, and better tools to integrate serverless-based applications with serverless Serve.
>>>> Platform9 CEO Sirish Raghuram: Kubernetes will become more influential in AWS Lambda serverless deployments.
Not only does Kubernetes make it easier to cross-use the cloud, it also reduces the value of other high-value application services that the cloud provides. Like Lambda, for serverless computing. There are many open source alternatives, such as Fission, which are open sourced and run on any Kubernetes cluster, offering the same value proposition. This is just one example of how cascading changes in the value of cloud providers' own native services can occur, also within the scope of application services available in the Kubernetes ecosystem.

2. 7 Open Source Serverless Frameworks That Provide FaaS
With the development of virtualization technology, enterprises are beginning to realize that the utilization of physical hardware is getting higher and higher. With the development of cloud computing, enterprises began to gradually use virtual machines for pay-as-you-go services. AWS launched the Lambda service in 2014, introducing a new paradigm of cloud computing, which has now become commonly referred to as serverless computing. . In a serverless model, businesses pay for functionality as a service instead of paying for always-on state virtual machines. AWS lambda pioneered serverless, and there are now multiple open source projects building serverless frameworks that can be used for multiple deployments:
1.Apache Openwhisk
IBM started the apache openwhisk project, which is now the basis for the IBM Cloud Functions service.
2.Fission uses kubernetes for serverless
The open-source Fission project, led by cloud service provider Platform9, is a Kubernetes-based serverless framework. "Fission is an open source project that aims to be the de facto open source alternative to lambda," Madhura Maskasky, co-founder of PLatform9, told eWEEK in a January 2017 interview.
3.IronFunctions
IronFunctions is a FaaS platform written in Go. Capabilities are any cloud computing, including public, private, and hybrid clouds to provide an open source serverless computing platform.
4.Fn project backed by Oracle
In October 2017, Oracle announced the open source Fn project, a serverless project licensed by apache.
5.OpenFaas
OpenFaas is an open source project that can make docker or kubernetes serverless. It is a FaaS framework.
6.Kubeless
The open-source framework Kubeless was developed by software vendor Skippbox, which was acquired by Bitnami in March 2017.
kubeless is a kubernetes native serverless framework with a command line interface (CLI) conforming to the AWS Lambda CLI
7.Riff
Among the latest open source serverless frameworks, the Riff project has critical support and is the basis for the upcoming Pivotal Function Service (PFS).
