Serverless Computing is a cloud computing model where the cloud provider dynamically manages the infrastructure, allowing developers to focus on writing and deploying code without worrying about server management. Key features include:
- Automatic Scaling: Resources automatically scale up or down based on demand, ensuring optimal performance.
- Pay-per-Use: Users are billed only for the execution time of their code, leading to cost savings.
- Event-Driven: Serverless functions are triggered by events, such as HTTP requests, database changes, or file uploads.
Examples of serverless platforms include AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, and Azure Functions. This model simplifies application development and reduces operational overhead.
