What is serverless computing?
-
Serverless computing is not unique to AWS.
Serverless computing still requires a server to run the code. The serverless aspect comes in because the underlying computing architecture is hidden from the developer. The developer does not need to worry about setting up computing architecture, just how to make use of it via the code. The provisioning, management, and scaling are done by the underlying component that performs serverless operations on the cloud platform. In AWS this is AWS Lambda.

Serverless applications can be seen as Function as a Service (FaaS).
