What is serverless computing and how does it contribute to digital transformation?

Serverless computing is a cloud computing model where the cloud provider dynamically manages the allocation and provisioning of servers. A serverless application runs in stateless compute containers that are event-triggered, ephemeral, and fully managed by the cloud provider. It allows developers to focus on their core product instead of worrying about managing and operating servers or runtimes, either in the cloud or on-premises. This reduced overhead lets developers reclaim time and energy that can be spent on developing great products which scale and that are reliable. In terms of digital transformation, serverless computing can significantly speed up the process as it allows for quicker software releases, provides scalability and can reduce costs. It also allows companies to focus more on user needs rather than on infrastructure.

The content does not provide specific examples of companies that have successfully transitioned to digital enterprises.

A company can measure the success of its digital transformation by evaluating the effectiveness of its strategy and innovation, the customer decision journey, process automation, organization, tech and data, and analytics. It can also measure success by how well it reacts to customer behavior and meets or exceeds customer expectations, which can significantly boost customer satisfaction, loyalty, and advocacy. The adoption and effective use of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, 5G, Internet of Things, serverless computing, biometrics, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality (VR), blockchain, robotics, natural language processing, and quantum computing can also be indicators of successful digital transformation.

Some challenges companies may face during digital transformation include: understanding and implementing new technologies, adapting to a changing customer journey, automating processes, restructuring the organization, managing and analyzing data, and developing a digital strategy and innovation. Other challenges could be related to security, privacy, and compliance issues, as well as resistance to change within the organization.
