Servless/Function-as-a-service, FaaS

What is Serverless/Function-as-a-service, FaaS?

First, it does not mean, you don't need a Server, instead it means, that the developer should focus on the code and not the server.

Also it all about going to the cloud, and that you don't want to worry about running servers, their storage, etc.

Examples of functions:

  • Create person.
  • Search person.
  • Update person.
