Mornings With Mark

Serverless architectures are a fantastic solution to a lot—not all—design challenge. The benefits they bring are substantial and they can reduce the overall ops and development burden for a lot of teams. But when we're talking about serverless, are we all talking about the same thing? I see three distinct definitions of the term "serverless" in use everyday. The challenge is when it comes to security, you better be looking at the entire architecture and not just one piece of the puzzle. We're well past the days where security is siloed. Serverless presents a fantastic opportunity to move security forward by treating these solutions like the distributed systems they are.
