Setting up a serverless workflow

Delve into the concept of serverless workflows, find out their advantages in reducing costs, improving efficiency, and enhancing application performance.

A workflow is a series of tasks or activities completed in a specific order to achieve a specific result. Workflows are used in many contexts, including business processes, software development, and project management.

Setting up a serverless workflow

A workflow is a series of tasks or activities completed in a specific order to achieve a specific result. Workflows are used in many contexts, including business processes, software development, and project management.

In general, a workflow includes:

  • Identifying workflow tasks or activities and the order in which those tasks must be performed to achieve the set goal;
  • Implementing workflow software. Deciding on the perfect option gets challenging, especially if your company is growing quickly, making it difficult to scale processes.
  • With AINSYS, companies of any size integrate the best workflow applications and continue updating them in real time.
  • Analyzing business process efficiency
  • Optimizing workflow processes later on. It’s not enough to just set up and automate workflow processes — make sure to constantly search for new tasks to include in your workflow to optimize business processes.
  • While a lot of companies continue to keep their workflows on-premise, many others have switched to serverless workflows.

    A classic workflow vs. a serverless workflow

    A regular workflow refers to a process performed on a server, a computer or other device that stores and manages data, applications, and other resources. A server can be physical or virtual and typically runs on an operating system (OS) such as Windows or Linux.

    On the other hand, a serverless workflow is a process executed without a dedicated server. Instead, it is run on a cloud platform, which provides a set of functions and services.

    There are several serverless workflow advantages that have been causing companies to ditch servers.

    Implementing a serverless workflow can help to reduce operational costs in several ways

    No need to purchase and maintain hardware: With a serverless workflow, you don’t have to worry about purchasing and maintaining hardware, such as servers or other infrastructure, saving you significant upfront and ongoing costs.

    Pay-per-use pricing: Many cloud platforms that offer serverless workflow solutions charge on a pay-per-use basis, meaning that you only pay for the resources you consume. This can be more cost-effective than purchasing and maintaining your own hardware, as you can scale up or down as needed to match your workload.

    Reduced maintenance and updates: A serverless workflow does not require ongoing maintenance or updates, as the cloud provider manages the underlying infrastructure.

    Increased efficiency: A serverless workflow helps automate repetitive tasks and streamline processes, which increases efficiency and reduces the need for manual labor. This can lead to cost savings in terms of labor and other resources.

    AINSYS provides businesses of any size with the best tools for setting up workflows of any type via data warehouses and pre-configured pipelines that facilitate data normalization for non-technical personnel. Our approach to workflow management reduces time to MVP for customers’ teams from weeks and months to minutes and hours. You will also be able to integrate new IT solutions into your organization’s workflow with lighting-fast accuracy even after the end of the setup process.

    Improved application performance

    Serverless workflows automate repetitive tasks, freeing up human resources to focus on more important ones, improving overall performance by increasing efficiency and reducing the risk of errors.

    Organizations that have implemented serverless workflows say they have been able to scale production automatically to meet changing demand and ensure applications perform well even during periods of high traffic. Also, since serverless workflows are executed on cloud platforms, they can benefit from the cloud’s low latency and high availability.

    Serverless workflows are powerful tools that can be used in a variety of contexts to automate processes and improve efficiency. They have proved particularly useful in transactional flow orchestration, multimedia file processing, genetic data processing, data pipelines, and automated IT operations and maintenance.

    AINSYS provides various solutions so that companies of all sizes can quickly set up and manage workflows utilizing data warehouses and data pipelines. With the help of our software, even non-technical workers can rapidly and effectively normalize data, cutting the time it takes to create a product from weeks or months to just a few hours. Additionally, our instruments enable seamless integration of new IT solutions into your organization’s routine even after the initial setup procedure is finished.
