Cloud-native apps demand cloud-smart decisions. In this in-depth episode of TechDaily.ai, we break down one of the most fundamental cloud architecture choices: serverless computing vs. containers.
From cold starts to Kubernetes, cost models to control, we explore the real-world tradeoffs between these two powerful paradigms—and how to combine them strategically for the best of both worlds.
In this episode:
- What serverless really means (hint: there are still servers)
- When to use containers for performance, control, or compliance
- How to avoid surprise costs—especially with long-running tasks
- The truth about cold starts—and how to fix them
- Real use cases where a hybrid approach wins
- Security, portability, observability & testing best practices
- Vendor lock-in risks and how to future-proof your architecture
Whether you're launching a startup, modernizing enterprise apps, or scaling next-gen workloads, this episode gives you the clarity and context you need to choose wisely.
