In today’s fast-paced digital world, businesses are constantly seeking ways to innovate while maintaining flexibility and cost-efficiency. A recent proof of concept (PoC) completed by Mipela GeoSolutions, using AWS serverless technology has demonstrated the immense potential of loosely coupled architecture design in achieving these goals.
At the core of this PoC was the deployment of a serverless architecture leveraging AWS services such as AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB and S3 Storage. The objective was to create a highly scalable and resilient application to manage automated map processing without the need for managing servers or complex infrastructure.
One of the key benefits of this approach is the cost-effectiveness. With serverless technology, you only pay for what you use, which can significantly reduce operational costs. This is highly advantageous for unpredictable or fluctuating workloads, as they can scale seamlessly to meet the demand as it happens without the overhead of always on infrastructure.
The PoC also highlighted the scalability of serverless architectures. AWS Lambda automatically scales based on the demand, handling thousands of concurrent requests effortlessly. This scalability is crucial for applications expected to handle varying loads, ensuring performance remains consistent even during peak times.
We look forward to keeping you updated on this PoC and others and how these may become market ready projects in the future.
