I'm not sure anyone knows. Its meaning probably depends on who you ask. lol
For me it means something like Azure Function apps, which are microservices/functions that execute on a server somewhere in Azure. You don't have to worry about the server, its setup or maintenance. They aren't full apps, just single-purpose functions that can receive or pass data or objects to other functions if needed. Your only concern is the code.

The first paragraph in the book Azure Serverless Succinctly[^] by CP's very own Sander Rossel gives a good definition:
Quote: Serverless computing is a cloud service where the cloud provider dynamically allocates infrastructure to run your code.

That kind of makes sense to me except my little VPS does the same thing, and I don't understand the difference.
Someone else explained it (I forget who now) as basically you're using someone else's server. That makes sense to me, although serverless != someone else's server, I at least understand it from a I guess a marketing? perspective even if it's a bit of a stretch.

It is a way to simplify your deployment. The trade-off is it might cost you more money or save you some money depending on the traffic. It should always help with uptime/server-overload.
If you are supporting traffic that sees incredible spikes, then this could auto-scale to help support the load. (Think Black Friday/Cyber Monday for retailers)
If you have moderate, steady traffic, then it might not be worth it.

Penguins? Pretty sure that's one of Chris' famous badgers!

You're clearly unfamiliar with the meme - there's no mistaking it.

Happy Birthday Sander,
and happy to have you back, Paul

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

How are you though?

I'm a mess, but I'm getting there. Just doing the necessary little jobs - though some of them turn into major jobs just to be annoying - and remembering to eat at least twice a day ...
