New Amalgam Insights Report: Serverless Computing to Continue Growth as Integral Part of Future Network Systems Architecture

SEATTLE, Dec. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A new market guide on the future of serverless computing seeks to dispel much of the confusion surrounding the emerging technology, concluding that while serverless computing is still what the report calls "an early stage technology," its usefulness will continue to grow and the technology will proliferate.

The new report, "Serverless Computing Provides New Solutions to Modern Problems," is authored by Amalgam Insights Research Fellow Tom Petrocelli. It debuted at this week's KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America conference, being held here in Seattle, and is being made available at no cost during the duration of the conference.

The report, aimed at Chief Information Officers, Chief Technical Officers and others, was written in response to massive market confusion regarding the current definition of serverless computing and the categories of options that software, platform and infrastructure architects can use to initiate serverless computing projects.

Petrocelli says the goal is to help better understand how it can be deployed. Doing so, he says, will help in the development of better software. "Serverless can best be thought of as any computer system that abstracts the infrastructure for the developer, employs an event-driven model and only consumes resources when needed," he added.

Petrocelli provides a definition of serverless computing, provides five key use cases (including IoT and mobile telemetry, data interchange and system configuration automation), explores the economics of serverless computing and provides 14 representative enterprise-grade solutions across open source projects, cloud services and on-premises commercial products.

The report is the latest in Amalgam Insights' series of Market Guides, providing an unbiased, third-party perspective for explaining new technology and service capabilities. The insights provided in the guides are based on more than a century of cumulative knowledge and expert experience, briefing with leading technology vendors and discussions with early adopter organizations.

Amalgam Insights' Market Guide for Serverless Computing is available at no charge during the duration of KubeCon at: https://amalgaminsights.com/product/market-guide-serverless-computing-provides-new-solutions-to-modern-problems.
