Written by Jakub Grajcar | Dec 6, 2017 1:02:00 PM

When you’re thinking about hosting your app, you want it to be as hassle-free as possible.

After all, you’re on your way to create software that will transform your organization, your community—possibly the world. (No need for modesty here!)

On that path to greatness, there’s no room for hosting frustrations.

Everyone wishes for a hosting solution that makes it easy to deploy features rapidly. It should also be cost-effective, keeping your bottom line happy and freeing up resources to put towards development.

That’s exactly the reason we’d like to tell you about Serverless. Wojtek Lichota, our Head of Service Delivery in Gdańsk, recently enlightened me on this exciting subject. I’m here to share what I learned.

In this article, we’ll explain:

  • what Serverless really is;
  • how it compares to other hosting solutions, such as PaaS and IaaS;
  • when can you benefit from a Serverless pricing model.
