Frequently Asked Questions

What is a serverless platform?

A platform that runs your code or containers on demand, scales automatically, including to zero, and bills for actual use, so you do not manage servers.

What is FaaS?

Function as a service runs small event-driven functions, such as AWS Lambda or Azure Functions. Serverless containers such as Cloud Run and Azure Container Apps run container images with the same scale-to-zero model.

Open-source or managed serverless?

Managed services are fastest to adopt. Open-source platforms such as Knative, OpenFaaS and Apache OpenWhisk avoid lock-in and can run on your own Kubernetes clusters.

What are cold starts?

The delay when a platform starts a new instance to serve a request after a period of inactivity. Providers reduce it with pre-warmed instances and faster runtimes, but latency-sensitive apps should measure it.
