Frequently Asked Questions

What is serverless architecture?

An application design built from managed services and event-driven functions, combining backend-as-a-service for things like databases and authentication with function-as-a-service for custom logic.

What are its main benefits and limits?

Benefits are automatic scaling, no server management and pay-per-use. Limits include cold starts, execution time limits, debugging difficulty and dependence on a provider's services.

How does it relate to microservices and event-driven design?

Serverless apps are usually event-driven and split into small units like microservices, but the units are functions and managed services instead of long-running services.

What was added?
