الحوسبة بدون خادم للشركات الناشئة الإماراتية: متى تكون Lambda و Azure Functions منطقية

الحوسبة بدون خادم توفر إمكانية التوسع التلقائي وتكاليف أقل. تعرّف على متى يجب استخدام Lambda و Azure Functions في شركتك الناشئة.

Serverless computing (AWS Lambda, Azure Functions) lets startups run code without managing servers — you pay only for actual execution time. For UAE startups with variable workloads, serverless can reduce infrastructure costs by 60–80% compared to always-on VMs, while eliminating operational overhead for server patching and scaling.

Ideal Use Cases

API backends with variable traffic patterns. Event-driven processing (file uploads, webhook handling, queue processing). Scheduled tasks (report generation, data cleanup). Microservices with low or unpredictable traffic. Real-time data processing from IoT devices. Serverless is not ideal for: long-running processes exceeding 15 minutes, applications requiring persistent connections, or workloads with consistent high throughput.

Cost and Architecture Considerations

AWS Lambda: up to 1 million free requests/month, then $0.20 per million requests. Azure Functions: similar pricing with tighter Azure ecosystem integration. Watch for cold start latency (100–500ms) that can impact user experience. Use provisioned concurrency for latency-sensitive endpoints. Bayden builds serverless architectures for UAE startups that scale automatically while minimizing cloud costs.
