Traditional computing models rely on virtual or physical machines, where each instance includes a complete operating system, CPU cycles, and memory. VMware commercialized the idea of virtual machines, and cloud providers embraced the same concept with services like Amazon EC2, Google Compute, and Azure virtual machines.

A scalable architecture needs to distribute work across many threads in order to facilitate all the CPUs of a physical or virtual machine. Locking is the Achilles heel of any multi-threaded architecture. Ultimately, it leads to a state where your system won’t be able to process more data even if you add more hardware.

Serverless computing can be a huge benefit to organizations that don’t have the necessary resources or teams to manage physical resources, like servers/hardware, and all the maintenance and licensing that goes along with that, allowing them to focus on developing their code and applications. Benefits of a Serverless Model.
