Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Function as a Service (FaaS)

  • AWS Elastic Beanstalk - ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation, durability) is a set of properties of database transactions intended to guarantee data validity despite errors, power failures, and other mishaps.   🌐
  • AWS Lambda - Lambda is the name given by Amazon to their Function as a Service (FaaS) offering.  🌐
  • App Engine - Google’s serverless managed platform. It provides popular runtimes such as Node.js, Java, Ruby, C#, Python, and PHP as well as the ability to bring customer runtimes too.  🌐
  • Cloud Functions - Google’s response to AWS Lambda, in spite of having a serverless product already, in the form of App Engine.  🌐
  • Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) - Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) was initially a vendor implementation of Cloud Foundry (an open source take on Heroku’s paradigm). As the 2007-era Heroku concepts such as build packs and 12 apps are becoming obsolete, Pivotal is quickly trying to rebrand themselves as a Kubernetes and FaaS vendor whilst still touting their Heroku-like offering which has been now renamed as Pivotal Application Service (PAS).   🌐
  • Stackery - A collaboration platform to design, isolate, and deploy serverless projects.  🌐
