Serverless architecture is a cloud computing model where the cloud provider manages the infrastructure and automatically allocates resources as needed to execute and scale applications. In a serverless architecture, developers do not need to worry about traditional server management tasks such as provisioning, scaling, and maintaining servers.
The main types of services in serverless architecture are automation and integration, application programming interface (API) management, monitoring, security, support and maintenance, training and consulting, and others. Automation and integration involve streamlining processes and connecting systems to enhance operational efficiency and seamless data flow, and serverless architecture facilitates event-driven automation and integration, allowing for seamless execution of functions triggered by events. They are deployed in public cloud, private cloud, and hybrid cloud models in organizations of all sizes, including large enterprises and SMEs. The serverless architecture is used in several applications, such as real-time file and stream processing, web application development, and the IoT backend in end-user verticals such as IT and telecommunications, BFSI, retail, healthcare, government, manufacturing, media and entertainment, and others.

The serverless architecture market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $14.57 billion in 2024 to $17.88 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to advancements in computing technology, cost reduction and scalability, unconditional development and deployment, elimination of traditional approaches, rising need for automation and integration.
The serverless architecture market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $41.14 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expected market size growth, segmentation and regional growth, rising adoption across industries, enhanced scalability and time-to-market, growth in end-user industries. Major trends in the forecast period include digital-centric business model, advancements in computing technology, increasing vertical utilization, rising adoption of DevOps, and geographic expansion and investments.
The rising need for serverless computing for DevOps practices is expected to propel the growth of the serverless architecture market going forward. Serverless computing is a cloud computing paradigm that enables developers to create and deploy applications on externally managed Infrastructure. This eliminates concerns regarding capacity planning, configuration, management, maintenance, fault tolerance, or scaling of containers, virtual machines (VMs), or physical servers. Serverless cloud computing enhances DevOps practices by enabling automatic scaling, reducing operational complexity, and facilitating the rapid deployment of microservices. For instance, in January 2024, according to AAG IT, a UK-based IT services company, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) revenues increased by 29.7%, totaling $120.3 billion in 2022. Further, over 98% of organizations leverage cloud services, including SaaS applications and fully cloud-native networks. Furthermore, projections indicate a 23% growth in cloud infrastructure spending for 2023. Therefore, the rising need for serverless computing for DevOps practices is driving the growth of the serverless architecture market.
Major companies operating in the serverless architecture market are developing advanced technologies, such as serverless solutions, to serve customers better with advanced features. A serverless solution refers to a software architecture and deployment model where the responsibility for server management, provisioning, and maintenance is shifted entirely to the cloud provider. In a serverless solution, developers focus on writing code for specific functions or services without the need to manage the underlying infrastructure. For instance, in May 2022, DigitalOcean Holdings Inc., a US-based technology company and cloud infrastructure provider, launched a new serverless solution, DigitalOcean Functions, for developers and small and medium businesses. It will allow developers to construct or expand their apps quickly without worrying about the infrastructure. The solution will provide fast, scalable, and cost-effective solutions, enabling organizations to build websites and mobile-based applications quickly, automatically scale, and save money by eliminating the need to pay for unused resources.
In April 2024, Cloudflare, a U.S.-based technology and cloud infrastructure provider, acquired Baselime, a UK-based platform specializing in serverless cloud application development, for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to integrate real-time logging, metrics, and tracing functionalities into Cloudflare's serverless platform, enabling improved insight and performance tracking for serverless workloads. Baselime's expertise in serverless computing aligns with Cloudflare's strategy to strengthen its serverless architecture tools and expand its capabilities in cloud infrastructure.
