Relation between Serverless Architecture and Microservices


Is the relation between Serverless Architecture and Microservices right?

If it isn't, what is the right relation?


Solution

  • Yes, serverless means functions. Functions, when bundled together, constitute a microservice. The main difference is microservices are not stateless since they run in containers, while functions are stateless since they are ephemeral.
