Serverless
Serverless is a cloud computing model where the cloud provider automatically manages the underlying servers, allowing developers to build and run applications without worrying about infrastructure management.
How it works
It works by executing code in stateless compute containers that are event-triggered and fully managed by the provider, scaling automatically with usage. This matters because it dramatically reduces operational overhead and costs, as you only pay for the exact compute resources your code consumes during execution.
Examples
- 1.Running a backend API that automatically scales during a product launch
- 2.Processing a file upload by triggering a function to resize an image
- 3.Executing a scheduled task to clean up a database every night
