Python is a programming language originally developed in the late 1980s. Since then, it has seen continuous growth and remains one of the most popular programming languages, especially in data science. Many programmers learn Python as their first language, and it has a wide range of uses. Its second iteration, Python 2.0, landed in 2000, after extensive development throughout the 90s.

Java, the programming language powering over 3 billion devices, celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2020. Despite its age, this language is far from dead. As Brian Goetz, Java Language Architect at Oracle, has said, “If I had $1 for every time Java was declared dead, I could probably retire!”

The concept of someone else being responsible for your code is a huge relief. As a developer, having someone else handle the burden of managing the entire infrastructure that runs my code gives me more time to deal with the actual development. Serverless technology benefits more than just the sole developer. It reduces cost by automatically adjusting resource allocation, abstracts both network and server management, saves complexity, and improves the overall application performance.
