Serverless vs always-on containers
Serverless functions start per request and scale automatically, but can have cold starts, time limits and no long-lived connections.
The short version
Serverless functions start per request and scale automatically, but can have cold starts, time limits and no long-lived connections. An always-on container keeps one process running, so WebSockets, in-memory caches and background timers work normally, though it has fixed memory and does not scale by itself. Neither model is better for every app.
On EasyHost
EasyHost runs one always-on container per app, with 512 MB of RAM. Learn more.
