Technavio has announced its latest market research report on the global serverless architecture market during 2019-2023.The global serverless architecture market size is poised to reach USD 9.17 billion by 2023, according to a new report by Technavio, progressing at a CAGR of more than 26% during the forecast period. The reduction in operating cost is projected to augment the market over the forecast period.
Serverless architecture works as a pay-per-use model in which developers are only charged for the server space they use and only when they use. The increase in cost pressure due to uncertain business and economic conditions has compelled several companies to adopt flexible IT solutions, according to Technavio. This is driving the adoption of serverless architecture as it has the ability to reduce the operating costs. Serverless architecture would be capable of providing an unlimited number of testing and staging servers on a much lower cost than other methods.
The North-American serverless architecture market accounted for more than 41% of the overall revenue in 2018, owing to the presence of major vendors and the availability of cloud solution-based technical expertise in the region.
The increasing demand for vast server space and speed is expected to increase the number of serverless architecure vendors in the market and further adoption of serverless architecture. It will provide new opportunities for vendors to expand their service offerings, which will intensify the market competition, according to the Technavio report.
