Market Drivers and Trends of Function as a Service (FaaS) Market
- Adoption of Serverless Computing:
o One of the key driving forces is the growing adoption of serverless computing as it is cost-effective and scalable.
o While companies look to ease infrastructure management burden.
- Microservices Architecture:
o The shift to microservices architecture, where applications are constructed as a set of small, independent services, drives FaaS adoption.
o FaaS is well-associated with deploying and managing single microservices.
- Event-Driven Architectures:
o FaaS is particularly well-suited to event-driven designs, where functions are invoked in response to particular events (e.g., data changes or user actions).
o Which bonds with instant data processing and responsive applications.
- Cloud Computing Growth:
o The overall growth of cloud computing, offering on-demand resources and pricing based on pay-as-you-go, encourages development of the FaaS market.
o Continued growth of edge computing.
- Developer Productivity:
o FaaS abstracts the application development and deployment process so the developers can truly focus on code only and not infrastructure.
o It enhances developer productivity and speeds up time-to-market.
- Cost Optimization:
o Faas is cost-effective since it does not need to provision/manage servers and charges only based on the execution time.
Market Segmentation:
- By Application:
o Web and Mobile Applications: For backend processing, API and event handling.
o Syntax: Data processing, ETL, & stream processing.
o IoT (Internet of Things): To process data from connected devices and to take actions.
- By Deployment Model:
o Public Cloud: FaaS products by large cloud vendors (AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, Google Cloud Functions).
o Private Cloud: A deployment of FaaS on which the cloud will be on-premises often for organizations that have special security or compliance requirements.

o AI Enhanced/FaaS: optimizing Function Efficiency with AI.
- Shift in Consumer Preferences:
o Bigger Appetite for Real-Time Processing: Companies want faster, more responsive applications.
o Emphasis on Cost-Effectiveness: Cost optimization is key to an organization's cloud strategy now.
o Focus on Developer Experience: Developers desire simpler tools and frameworks for building and deploying applications.
- Regulatory Changes:
o Data Privacy Regulations [GDPR, CCPA]: FaaS applications that process sensitive information must comply with data privacy regulations.
o Cloud Compliance: Compliance with cloud security standards and certifications are also to build trust.
Growth Opportunities:
- Increased IoT Usage: There are so many devices that are connected; FaaS can process the vast data created by these devices.
- Formation of Tailored Platforms for Function as a Service (TaaS)
- AI and Machine Learning Integration: FaaS based solutions for AI and ML workloads
- Edge Computing Focus: Providing FaaS solutions tailored to edge computing deployments.
- Offering Managed FaaS Services: Providing managed FaaS services that ease the process of deploying, managing and scaling.
