6. Question 6

NOT a good use case for serverless:

✅ Long-running processes
❌ Stateless microservices
❌ Stream processing
❌ Supporting microservices architecture

Explanation:

Serverless is ideal for short-lived, event-driven workloads, not long-running tasks.

---

7. Question 7

Characterization of microservices architecture:

❌ Failure of one impacts entire app
✅ Decomposition of large apps into focused, functional services
❌ Must rebuild every new feature from scratch
❌ Must bundle microservices into one container

Explanation:

Microservices = small, independent services collaborating to form an application.
