Netflix leverages serverless computing to dynamically scale processing without overloading servers. Each microservice or function can run independently in response to user activity, automatically scaling up during peak hours. This allows Netflix to handle massive spikes, like a new season drop, without downtime. Serverless ensures resources are billed only for usage, avoiding massive fixed costs. It’s a system designed for unpredictability, where infrastructure simply adapts.
Businesses that handle unpredictable traffic can remain efficient without over-provisioning. Serverless ensures peak loads are met without investing in permanent infrastructure.
This scalability model demonstrates how real-time, large-scale platforms can remain agile. Companies can adopt serverless to manage massive workloads flexibly.
Netflix processes millions of serverless function calls daily, enabling real-time recommendations.
