According to our own research, developers spend 41% of their day on infrastructure maintenance instead of innovation or bringing new products to market.

This is why we created MongoDB Atlas serverless instances, which takes the characteristic flexibility of serverless architecture and combines it with a flexible application database platform built upon the document model. The rise of serverless computing can be traced back to the introduction of serverless cloud functions like AWS Lambda, which allowed developers to start and stop their applications with simple API calls.

For example, a single user sign-in can trigger multiple functions: Each of these can be designed and coordinated as serverless functions in an event-driven architecture.

In the not too distant future, it’s conceivable that serverless architecture will be the equivalent of automatic transmission for developers once they realize how easy it is to start building and how little ongoing maintenance is required.
