Serverless architecture is not a new concept in government IT, but it is in the early phases of adoption. When it comes to computer models, it’s an upcoming trend to keep an eye on. Despite its name, a serverless architecture does require servers. After all, applications need a place to run.

Everyone is facing higher costs for almost everything. Medical and dependent care expenses are no exception. Health care costs rose faster in 2021 than they have in at least ten years.
