Serverless Computing and Microservices are not exactly related unlike cloud computing and virtualization are related. It is of importantance not to confuse architecture and technologies but use the correct technology for the correct architecture. Microservices is a style of architecture style where we develop a set of multiple operation specific to a business logic. In that way, the total software … [Read more...]
Why Some Developers Love Serverless So Much?
Serverless is still new and there are a lot of developers who do not understand what is behind the name and ask questions like Serverless Functions vs Microservices. Serverless is a pricing model. Serverless introduces an additional abstraction layer. Cloud made many thing a lot simpler. A single developer can easily spin up a virtual machine withinf a few minutes. PaaS, Serverless are extending … [Read more...]
IBM Stops Selling Watson AI to the Pharma Industry
IBM has decided to stop selling artificial intelligence tool named Watson Drug Discovery to the pharmaceutical industry for the purpose of discovering new drugs. The reason is that sales are disappointing and companies are beginning to doubt the usefulness of Machine Learning for their industry. IBM's Watson artificial intelligence software was introduced in 2014. For several years now, IBM … [Read more...]
What Is a Serverless Microservice?
In our few previous publications, we discussed the commonly asked matters around serverless, FaaS, microservices such as Serverless Functions vs Microservices, Difference Between FaaS and Serverless etc. What Iis a Serverless Microservice? Serverless microservice is combination of both serverless and microservice. Serverless microservices run within vendor's serverless infrastructure only when … [Read more...]
Basics on Role of VPN in the Field of IoT for Maintaining Session Privacy
Ever experienced a breach of your privacy or security while online? A compromise of your credit card details, for instance? Did you ever wonder how it became possible that your boss knew you streamed the first three episodes of the latest season of the Game of Thrones on the torrent account, using the office's broadband connection? Ever thought how IoT prototyping can breach your security? Welcome … [Read more...]
Serverless Functions vs Microservices
Both the Serverless and Microservices reduce the time to market. Microservices is a technical term where as serverless has more a marketing term like the Cloud has when compared to virtualiation. Essentially, both Serverless and Microservices allow handling changing requirements with lesser effort which results lowering of the operation costs in the environments with larger load. Microservices are … [Read more...]
What is the Difference Between FaaS and Serverless?
One of our reader asked us why we have used Serverless and FaaS as interchangeable words in the article What Are the Real Use Cases of Serverless Architecture (FaaS)?. He is correct. Serverless and FaaS are not exactly the same. The main reason we used the terminiogies synonymously is that, the intended reader audience likely are begginers and need the basic concept, we think that confusing them … [Read more...]
Difference Between Data Science and Big Data
When we say Big Data, we are talking about the humungous volumes of non-totaled crude information with its size fluctuating up to petabytes. Big data refers to the huge volumes of data of various types, i.e., structured, semi-structured, and unstructured. If you want to learn big data science in depth and get certified too, then Intellipaat big data training is your need. Intellipaat is one … [Read more...]
What Are the Real Use Cases of Serverless Architecture (FaaS)?
In our an earlier article, we discussed about the limitations and disadvantages of the Serverless Architecture (FaaS). Now, what are the real use cases of Serverless Architecture (FaaS) which a developer should think to use it? A Serverless Architecture helps us by offloading the computational efforts on Cloud Web Services. The functionality, scalability, and security goes to the backend provider. … [Read more...]
Machine Learning With Quantum Computers
Unlike a desktop computer based on transistors working on binary data, the quantum computers work on qubits whose quantum state can have an infinite number of values. Small quantum computers were built from the 1990s. Until 2008, the major difficulty concerns the physical realization of the basic element: the qubit. The phenomenon of decoherence (loss of quantum effects on the macroscopic scale) … [Read more...]
What Are the Drawbacks of Serverless Computing?
Serverless computing or FaaS provides a platform which allows the developers to execute code upon call of events. The serverless platform separates infrastructure services from the applications running on top of the platform. Automatic scaling functionality of FaaS not reduces the compute cost but and operational management overheads. In the serverless solution, we pay for the managed servers, … [Read more...]
