What is Serverless Computing?

Before we start creating serverless applications to run in Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and the Google Cloud Platform (GCP), let's learn about what serverless computing is. We will learn about how it is being used, and about Function as a Service (FaaS) and the benefits that serverless computing provides. Readers will also learn about what serverless computing isn't.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

What is serverless computing?
Use cases of serverless computing
Unpacking FaaS
What serverless computing is not
The benefits of serverless computing
Best practices to get the maximum benefits out of serverless computing
