Thinking outside the box

One of the recent advances in web software development is the emergence of serverless computing, which abstracts away the infrastrucure, and leads to a situation where an application may be running on a server only for the duration of one call. This leads to a situation, where classic approaches for improving the latency between a client and a server such as using connection pools on the server is not possible.

To accommodate for this, database providers have sought alternative soutions. Here, your task is to explore one such solution by reading the blog item Quicker serverless Postgres connections and coming up with two good questions on it. The blog entry is available at https://neon.tech/blog/quicker-serverless-postgres.

For writing the question, refer also to the notes on good questions.

Create your two questions using the widget shown below.

Once you have created the questions, answer to at least five peer-authored questions. After each question, you are given a possibility to rate the question -- please, rate each question that you answer.
