Does Serverless Have Servers ? Serverless computing refers to the paradigm of building and running applications without managing the underlying servers. With serverless, the cloud provider abstracts away the servers, runtimes, scaling, and capacity planning from the developer. The developer focuses on the application code and business logic, while the cloud provider handles provisioning servers, auto-scaling, monitoring, etc., under the hood. Over the past decade, this “no-ops” approach has greatly simplified deploying cloud-native applications. The term “serverless” is misleading since servers are still involved. But from the developer’s perspective, there are no visible servers to manage. The cloud provider handles the servers, operating systems, and runtimes. This model allows developers to deploy event-driven, auto-scaling functions and APIs without worrying about the infrastructure. Some key enablers of serverless computing include FaaS (Functions-as-a-Service), BaaS (...
