Serverless Computing

[ˈsɜrvərləs kəmˈpjutɪŋ]
AI Infrastructure
Last updated: December 9, 2024

Definition

A cloud computing execution model where the cloud provider manages infrastructure and automatically scales resources.

Detailed Explanation

Serverless computing abstracts server management from developers, allowing them to focus solely on code. The platform automatically handles scaling, patching, and infrastructure management. Resources are allocated dynamically based on demand, and users are charged only for actual computation used. This model includes various services like Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) and Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS).

Use Cases

API backends, data processing pipelines, scheduled tasks, real-time file processing, IoT backends, microservices
