A Serverless Computing Platform is an online service in which software code is deployed such that computing resource scaling is automatic and billing is only for compute time.

    • Serverless computing is a cloud-computing execution model in which the cloud provider runs the server, and dynamically manages the allocation of machine resources. Pricing is based on the actual amount of resources consumed by an application, rather than on pre-purchased units of capacity. It can be a form of utility computing.

      Serverless computing can simplify the process of deploying code into production. Scaling, capacity planning and maintenance operations may be hidden from the developer or operator. Serverless code can be used in conjunction with code deployed in traditional styles, such as microservices. Alternatively, applications can be written to be purely serverless and use no provisioned servers at all.

      This should not be confused with computing or networking models that do not require an actual server to function, like peer-to-peer (P2P).
