Serverless Computing

A hub of serverless computing directories — an event-driven execution model where the provider manages infrastructure, so developers write and ship functions and services without managing servers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is serverless computing?

A cloud execution model where the provider manages the servers and scaling. You deploy functions or containers that run on demand and pay only for the time they run.

Does serverless mean there are no servers?

No. Servers still exist, but the provider provisions, patches and scales them, so developers focus on code and events.

What is the difference between FaaS and serverless containers?

FaaS runs small event-driven functions, while serverless container services run full container images with the same scale-to-zero model. Both fit the serverless model.

Where should I start?

Read the Serverless Computing and Serverless Architecture web resources, then compare Serverless Platforms and Serverless Development Tools for your cloud.
