Serverless architecture

Serverless architecture is a way of building and running applications, or parts of applications, without having to worry about managing or setting up the same physical computers, called servers, that traditional software applications rely on. Instead, with serverless architecture, the responsibility of running and managing the computers, or servers, is handed to a cloud provider. The cloud provider takes charge of managing all the servers, taking away the burden from the application development team. This makes it easier for developers to focus on the product they are building, instead of worrying about the computers these applications are running on.
