Introduction 

Cloud finds its next-generation in serverless services which provides full application functionality. Serverless architecture represents a new paradigm. With it, companies can overcome the typical obstacles which are prone to be cost and effort heavy during IT transformations and daily operations. It also enables companies to shift their IT spending from a capex to an opex model for the entire duration of application development, reducing overall expenses by around 60%. 

While serverless and microservice architectures offer a host of benefits such as resiliency, scalability and better productivity, it also comes with inherent complexities with respect to the architecture, lack of end-to-end control, limited tools for monitoring and debugging and overall, an uncertainty that revolves around the costs incurred for the said services. 

The biggest challenge one faces while building a serverless application, is understanding its end-to-end behaviour, ensuring application health, performance, and cost-effectiveness. With the growing number of businesses depending on this cloud model, it is imperative to solve the above mentioned challenges. And for this, Kloudmate plans to rebuild the perfect solution.
