What is autoscaling & serverless?
Autoscaling automates horizontal scaling to ensure that the number of workers is proportional to the load on the system
Technologies that allow us to scale this way:
Serverless vs Autoscaling
Autoscaling is usually discussed on the timeline of ~1h chunks of work
If you took the concept of autoscaling and took it to its limit, you'd get serverless
Serverless: define resources that are quickly started and use them on the timeline of ~100ms
Use case for serverless:
Serverless is primarily used for services that are somewhat fast to start and stateless
You wouldn't run something like a CI run with serverless framework
BUT you might run something like a webserver or notification service
