Since serverless can scale infinitely during spikes, platforms avoid crashes during high volatility. The event-driven nature allows precise execution without maintaining idle servers. Risk algorithms, portfolio updates, and alerts all operate through serverless functions, ensuring seamless operations. This flexibility and responsiveness can mean the difference between profit and loss.
