Serverless Architecture refers to the practice of designing and running applications without having to manage servers. Instead, applications are run on a platform-as-a-service (PaaS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Serverless takes the control of managing the virtual machines out of the developers hands and puts it in the cloud provider hands.

You simply specify the function code and the runtime environment takes care of provisioning and managing your resources. FaaS is great for building custom functions or turning off features in pre-built ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Functions provides features such as managed execution contexts (MECs), which allow you to manage multiple functions in parallel from a single console experience. Another important point to remember is that the serverless functions are stateless.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FaaS is built with developers in mind. No longer you need to worry about infrastructure, scaling and patching. Developers can just write the code and let it run. You can use FaaS to run any type of application, including those that require high performance and low latency. However, it is important to note that not all the development use cases are meant for Serverless architecture or FaaS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Offerings_from_AWS_Azure_GCP\"><\/span>Offerings from AWS, Azure, GCP<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to serverless cloud-based computing, three of the most popular options are Amazon Web Services (AWS) Lambda and Azure Functions from Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Cloud Functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These three services offer different advantages and disadvantages, so it\u2019s important to understand which one is best for your needs.
