Containers and Serverless—Rivals or Cohorts?

In this article, Omer Hamerman explores the similarities and differences between containers and serverless computing, two popular technologies in the cloud computing domain.

While containers offer isolation and flexibility for longer-lived applications, serverless functions are more suited for short-lived processes that require scalability and fast response times. Hamerman also provides examples of common use cases for each technology and offers a decision tree to help developers choose between them.
