Serverless is a new paradigm in computing that enables simplicity, efficiency and scalability for both developers
Functions as a service is a new paradigm in computing that enables simplicity, efficiency and scalability for both developers
and operators. It's important to distinguish the two, because the benefits differ:
### Benefits for developers
The main benefits that most people refer to are on the developer side and they include:
* No servers to manage (serverless) -- you just upload your code and the platform deals with the infrastructure
* No servers to manage -- you just upload your code and the platform deals with the infrastructure
* Super simple coding -- no more monoliths! Just simple little bits of code
* Pay by the milliseconds your code is executing -- unlike a typical application that runs 24/7, and you're paying
