What is Serverless? Serverless computing is a modern approach to software development that optimizes efficiency by only running code when needed, unlike traditional always-on servers. Analogy: A motion-sensing light bulb in a garage only turns on when motion is detected. Similarly, serverless functions are triggered by events and automatically scale up and down as required. Benefits: Efficiency: O...
