What are Serverless Platforms?
Serverless platforms are cloud computing services that allow developers to build and deploy applications without managing the underlying infrastructure, such as servers or virtual machines. These platforms automatically handle the scaling, provisioning, and maintenance of resources, allowing developers to focus on writing code and implementing business logic. Serverless platforms typically provide a pay-as-you-go pricing model, where users only pay for the actual resources used during execution rather than for idle time. Features of serverless platforms include automatic scaling, event-driven architecture, and support for various programming languages and services. Popular serverless platforms are commonly used for web applications, microservices, APIs, and data processing. Compare and read user reviews of the best Serverless platforms currently available using the table below. This list is updated regularly.

Jit
Jit
DevOps ain’t easy! We are hearing more and more about the breakdown and friction where Dev meets Ops, so let’s not even talk about all the other shift-left domains that add another layer of complexity in the middle like DevSecOps. Where this comes with the need to implement and integrate dozens of security tools in their SDLC. But what if it doesn’t have to be difficult? Jit's DevSecOps Orchestration Platform allows high-velocity Engineering teams to own product security while increasing dev velocity. With a unified and friendly developer experience, we envision a world where every cloud application is born with Minimal Viable Security (MVS) embedded and iteratively improves by adding Continuous Security into CI/CD/CS. -

By just writing the most important "core code" without concern for peripheral components, you can greatly reduce the complexity of the service architecture. SCF can scale up and down based on the number of requests with no manual configuration required. Regardless of the volume of requests to your application at any given time, SCF can automatically arrange suitable computing resources to meet business needs. If an available zone is down due to a natural disaster or power failure, SCF can automatically utilize the infrastructure of other available zones for code execution, eliminating the risk of service interruptions inherent in single-availability zone operations. Event-triggered workloads can be achieved using SCF that leverages different cloud services to meet the requirements of different business scenarios and further strengthen your service architecture.
