Serverless Architecture

Summary

Serverless architecture is a cloud computing execution model where the cloud provider dynamically manages the allocation and provisioning of servers, allowing developers to focus on writing code without worrying about infrastructure management.

Detailed Description

In a serverless architecture, developers create applications that rely on third-party services (BaaS - Backend as a Service) and server-side logic (FaaS - Function as a Service) to perform operations. It abstracts server management away from the developer, meaning they don't need to provision or maintain servers, allowing for more efficient development and scaling. The services automatically scale based on demand and the users are charged only for the compute resources consumed during execution, creating a cost-effective and flexible approach to building applications.
