Container-based PaaS or serverless: choosing the right solution for your business

What's this blog post about?

The article discusses the differences between Container-based PaaS and Serverless computing solutions, highlighting their distinct advantages depending on the use case for businesses. It explains that serverless computing is event-driven and automatically scales resources as needed, while PaaS solutions typically consume resources at all times. The pricing models of both are compared, with serverless being more cost-effective for small workloads and PaaS being a better choice for consistent or high workloads. The article also provides guidance on how to choose the right solution based on factors such as utility tasks, team's familiarity with the stack, performance needs, predictability of workloads, and suggests using both PaaS and serverless functions together to leverage their strengths.
