Early Findings
Data Availability
The initial research did not reveal any publicly available information for the market size/analysis of the serverless development space. However, there is a wealth of information for the serverless computing market and serverless architecture market. This research will address the serverless architecture market as a proxy for market size due to its seemingly closer bearing on the topic.
Serverless Architecture Market Size
The serverless architecture market was valued at
$7.6 billion
in 2020 and is expected to grow to
$21.1 billion
by 2025 at a CAGR of
22.7%
.
Growth in the serverless architecture market is due to the increasing demand for software that allows for
app development
without the corresponding infrastructure management. "The software helps eliminate the use of a physical or virtual server, thereby reducing the traditionally
time-consuming process
for setting up a server and connecting it with a database."
Key Players in this space include Amazon Web Services Inc., IBM Corporation,
Google LLC
, Microsoft Corporation, Oracle Corporation, Twilio Functions, and Alibaba Group Holding Limited.
Some trends in the serverless space include serverless expansion into hybrid IT,
improvements in serverless security
, standardization of serverless applications, and
serverless evolution beyond Faas
(function-as-a-service).
Top Serverless Platforms
The top five serverless platforms include AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions + Firebase, Microsoft Azure,
Alibaba Functions
, and IBM Bluemix/OpenWhisk.
AWS Lambda - Serverless Computing
AWS Lambda is an AWS serverless computing service that is relevant for on-demand applications developed using "Python,
Node.js
, Java, Go, and C#."
It is considered the
ultimate
for Node.js development.
Software tools that can be integrated with AWS Lambda include
Asana
, CircleCI, and InVisionApp.
Google Cloud Functions + Firebase
Google Cloud Functions is mainly used for event-driven serverless development. It works by "connecting the
developer's code
to the Google Cloud Platform, setting up triggers that will activate responses to user actions and application changes."
Use cases for this serverless platform include Lucille Games and
Smart Parking
.
Summary
The serverless architecture market was worth $7.6 billion in 2020 and will see increased growth until 2025.
AWS Lambda is considered the ultimate for Node.js development.
The market analysis could be expanded to consider the serverless computing market. Also, the initial research used a global focus. Please indicated any related changes/preferences in the comments box below.
