Serverless introduction¶

• Serverless is a new paradigm in which the developers don't have to manage servers anymore
• They just deploy code
• They just deploy... functions!
• Initially Serverless == FaaS (Function as a Service)
• Serverless was pioneered by AWS Lambda but not also includes anything that's managed: databases, messaging, storage etc
• Serverless does not mean there are no servers - it means you just don't manage / provision / see them.
