An Introduction to Serverless Computing: Part 1

The most hyped technology trend in recent times is Serverless Computing. Some may think (going by the name) that there are no servers involved in serverless computing. There are servers running our code, but these servers are not visible in the infrastructure and need no management, handling or provisioning by the development or operation teams.

In serverless computing, or FaaS (Function as a Service), we generally write applications/functions that focus only on one thing in particular. We then upload that application on the cloud provider, which gets invoked via different events, such as HTTP requests, webhooks, etc. In very recent times people have started referring to serverless as BaaS (Backend as a Service). BaaS and FaaS are related in their operational attributes (e.g., no resource management) and are frequently used together.
