What
- It is a service that automatically runs your code in response to events, without the need to configure or manage servers.
- You don’t need to provision/configure/pay for servers
- Difference with EC2
- with EC2 you need to choose hardware profile, AMI, OS, etc
- Diagram
- Define the task that should be performed (ex. a code snippet) and when it should be performed, triggered by a event
- Just upload your code and define the condition for executing the code
- Examples
- AWS Lambda
- S3 - technically, S3 is a serverless storage service, you didn’t have to configure any servers/OS, etc. It’s not compute tho
- Azure Foundations
