Phase 8 · Serverless & Event-Driven Architecture

Topics

Serverless Fundamentals

Part of the Cloud Computing Roadmap.

Summary

Running code without provisioning or managing any servers directly — the platform handles all scaling, patching and availability, and you pay only for actual execution time rather than idle capacity.

How to Learn This

  • 1Learn the core trade-off: no server management, in exchange for execution time limits and less control.
  • 2Identify a workload from earlier phases that would fit serverless well, and explain why.
  • 3Understand serverless doesn't mean 'no servers exist' — it means you don't manage them.
