Serverless hosting provides a cloud-based environment for supporting various software applications. The hosting service will allocate all of the resources needed for programs to run their operational tasks.
Serverless hosting is often cheaper than traditional hosting services because it is less resource-intensive. Serverless platforms only consume resources during an application's runtime, which means that you only have to pay for the actual usage of hosting resources, as opposed to the total storage capacity of a traditional hosting plan.
It also tends to be more stable than traditional hosting because serverless providers can automtically scale its resource consumption based on demand. This reduces downtime and ensures that applications can handle spikes in user activity.
Azure provides a cloud platform for people to deploy and manage applications through Microsoft's global network. They offer their own database services for MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and more. Azure also provides services for AI and ML, one of which is called Azure Cognitive Services, which has pre-built models for vision and speech recognition.
Like Azure, Google Cloud Platform has their own services for databases, storage, AI and ML, and analytics. GCP is also known for its Big Data tools like Google BigQuery and Google Cloud Dataflow.
Hosting platforms have become more efficient and complex in recent years. Tech giants like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon compete to provide hosting solutions for a wide variety of applications in the cloud, including websites, software programs, and data analytics tools.
