5 Serverless Frameworks to get you started with Serverless Computing Cloud has emerged at such a rapid pace that we keep wondering what next to SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), DaaS (Database as a Service) and FaaS (Function as a Service). The growth has been phenomenal, which is why Cloud is often touted as the technology of decade. Talking of FaaS, it is also known as Serverless Computing and, in our last blog, we explored the reason for it to be getting so popular. Serverless Computing supports the pay as you go feature, which is why it is a highly cost-effective and smart management of server resources. You also spend less time on ops and lessen your infrastructure costs dramatically. While there is no doubt that it is fast becoming popular, what are the Serverless Frameworks available if an organization wishes to adopt it? When the Serverless framework is invoked by external events, it triggers autonomous code snippets, which are loosely coupled. Each code snippet is meant to perform one task at one time. The serverless framework recalls the code snippets at runtime. Serverless Frameworks help to promote the NoOps model. If you wish to adopt Serverless Computing, here are the 5 available Serverless frameworks:
1. AWS Lambda

This is one of most stable, popular and mature serverless frameworks. Lambda is also known as an extremely flexible framework. It has an interactive console and command line tools that enables faster uploading and management of snippet. It supports Node.js, Python and Java technologies. It is closely integrated with Alexa, which is one of the biggest reasons that it is a preferred platform when developers wish to use voice-activated applications for Amazon Echo.
