What Is Serverless?

Explore the concept of serverless computing, focusing on how it shifts infrastructure management away from developers. Understand its execution model where platforms dynamically allocate resources to run code, enabling you to concentrate on coding without worrying about underlying servers.

Serverless in the past

Serverless computing is the future. Or maybe it’s just the hype. It’s hard to tell right now, mostly because we don’t yet know what serverless is. For some, it’s about developing functions (nano services?). For others, it’s not worrying about infrastructure. Some claim that serverless is all about reducing cost, while some say that it’s about scalability.

We don’t think it’s about the size of the applications, even though the first attempts at serverless were mostly focused on functions. Forcing everyone to design their systems around functions is unrealistic and ...
