Serverless Computing on AWS
Build and run applications faster…
What could you do with the time and money that you would save with serverless computing on Amazon Web Services (AWS)? Read the following chapters in our guide to learn more about what serverless computing is, its benefits, and how to get started.
Serverless computing is a cloud computing execution model in which a cloud provider dynamically manages the allocation of machine resources. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is one of the most well-known, widely used cloud hosting providers.
Serverless solutions are built, hosted, and managed in the cloud. The solution is comprised of the same actions your server would be performing if you had it on premises. These actions are sent to a cloud hosting provider like AWS and may be run on one server or many servers.
What are the benefits of Serverless Computing?
- Enterprise-level scalability and high availability
- Reduced infrastructure costs and management
- Main focus on solution innovation and business value
- Faster time-to-market for solutions and products
In our next chapters, we’ll be diving deeper into these benefits as well as some use cases for serverless computing and serverless solutions.

How do serverless solutions stack up against on-premise solutions? Let’s take a look at the four main benefits that serverless solutions provide that on-premise solutions can’t.
Serverless solutions and serverless computing:
- Deliver enterprise-level scalability and high availability
- Reduce infrastructure costs and management
- Keep the focus on solution innovation and business value
- Enable faster time-to-market for solutions and products
Your solution can be scaled automatically or by adjusting its capacity through toggling units of consumption. No more adjusting units of individual servers.
There is no need to provision or maintain any servers, drastically reducing infrastructure costs. You also don’t pay for idle capacity, only for what you use when you’re using it. This means you don’t have to pre- or over-position capacity for your solution’s compute storage requirements.
Without the hassle of managing servers on-site, you can focus on what really matters and better serve your end customers.
Speed matters. In today’s rapidly evolving marketplace, companies need a fast time-to-market for their solutions and products. Serverless solutions enjoy the benefit of faster time-to-market, allowing you to place your solutions and products in the market at the right time.

Your company’s reputation can be an asset or an obstacle. As social media’s ability to impact reputation has grown, a demand for social media listening tools has emerged.
One such tool is Pinnacle Campfire.
Pinnacle Campfire delivers real-time data collection and aggregation from blogs, social media, or any source on the web. Pinnacle Campfire can perform sentiment analysis for brand mentions and search terms and can also integrate across multiple databases.

With all the benefits Pinnacle Campfire can provide, there is one major drawback. The constant, variable inflow of social media data leads to fluctuations in workloads and resource demands.
Hosting a solution like this on premises requires you to estimate your largest workload and build an infrastructure that can accommodate it. Chances are you will be paying for a lot of idle capacity during the times you are not at your peak workload level. Hosting Pinnacle Campfire on AWS as a serverless solution avoids this major headache. On AWS, you can easily and instantly adjust your Pinnacle Campfire environment to any scale you need. You never have to worry about your data outpacing your resources.
You can also avoid bottlenecks caused by regularly crawling outside web sites because you transfer the bandwidth load to AWS and its resources.
