Event-Driven, Scalable Cloud Functions

Understanding Serverless Computing

Serverless computing (Function as a Service, FaaS) is a cloud computing model where cloud providers manage infrastructure,

for idle resources. Serverless eliminates infrastructure management, e

ideal for event-driven applications and variable workloads.
