What is serverless?

The heart of serverless is to power innovation and developer productivity by lowering barriers to entry like cost, complexity, and time-to-market. It promises simplicity, speed to get started, instant scalability, and best practices by default. According to our litmus test, a service is serverless if it checks all of the following:

There are 5 core tenants of serverless

Nothing to provision, nothing to manage
Usage-based pricing with no minimums
Ready with a single API call
No planned downtime
No instances

This is the standard to which we hold all of our services. It’s why our driving mantra is “Believe in serverless”. Read more about the true definition of serverless on our blog about it.
