Nimbella, a cloud-agnostic serverless cloud platform provider,
today released a whitepaper titled "The State of Serverless in the Enterprise"
authored by Rishidot
Research. The whitepaper surveys the Serverless
Computing landscape and highlights how this computing paradigm is transforming
enterprises.
"Cloud computing witnessed rapid
acceleration in 2020 due to the needs of companies to support their business
because of the COVID-19 pandemic," said Anshu Agarwal, CEO and Co-founder,
Nimbella. "Serverless computing saw significant adoption because it enables
rapid development and deployment, reducing the development cycle thus
accelerating time-to-market. As it becomes more mainstream, we see two important
requirements emerging from the enterprises: portability and customization.
Portability to avoid vendor lock-in and customization to support a variety of
enterprise workloads."
Serverless Computing allows
developers to build and run applications without the added work of managing the
infrastructure. Rishidot Research estimates that the Serverless Computing
market will cross $20 billion in the next five years and almost every enterprise
will have Serverless deployments in their organization. Enterprises will see
the financial and operational benefits in serverless platforms such as Nimbella
through the reduction of operational overhead and costs to manage the
infrastructure, increased developer productivity, and quicker deployment to
market from an abstraction of infrastructure complexities resulting in a better
ROI.
"The need for
serverless platforms to be a seamless experience and able to integrate is
becoming a top priority for many companies across industries," said Krishnan
Subramanian, Founder and Chief Research Advisor, Rishidot Research. "We are
seeing more extensive capabilities come with serverless platforms and
enterprises prefer portability and interoperability to ensure that they have
the necessary flexibility to empower their developers. Most enterprises want
some level of customization to meet their diverse application needs."
Nimbella's platform significantly
improves the developers experience and offers enterprises the flexibility to
deploy applications on their infrastructure or cloud of their choice. It runs
on Kubernetes and is based on Apache OpenWhisk, securing the applications'
compliance with open source standards. To make the developer experience even
better, Nimbella offers seamless integrations with developer tools such as
Postman, Netlify, Slack, Microsoft Teams and others.
