The Promise of Serverless
When developers talk about Serverless, they often focus on FaaS. But the best Serverless experience, by far, is delivered by a data store. S3.
Why? Because it "just works" and lets developers focus on their code.
Serverless databases help you focus on your queries and workload. They abstract the compute. Which also means - usage based pricing.
In this video, Ram Subramanian, Nile's CEO, joins us to discuss his vision of the perfect Serverless database experience.
We talk about:
- What makes S3 so amazing?
- What would the S3 experience look like if we apply it to RDBMS?
- Development cycle: Serverless requirements when coding, testing and finally in production.
- Performance of Serverless databases, and what will make performance tuning a better experience
- Elasticity and scalability. We agreed that "scale to zero" doesn't mean what everyone thinks it means.
- Cost of Serverless. Is it actually worth it?
- Architectures: Compute-storage separation, disaggregation, sharding and gateways.
- Multi-regions concerns
And of course: Do Serverless DBs make sense for SaaS developers?
