Understanding Serverless Computing
Serverless computing is a cloud computing execution model where the cloud provider dynamically manages the allocation of machine resources. You only pay for the compute time you consume.
Key benefits include scalability, cost-effectiveness, and reduced operational overhead. This makes it ideal for event-driven applications and microservices.

Serverless Functions: The Building Blocks
Serverless functions (also known as Functions as a Service or FaaS) are small, independent pieces of code that are triggered by events. They execute in response to these events and are automatically scaled by the cloud provider.
Popular examples include AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Google Cloud Functions.

Serverless Databases
Serverless databases offer similar benefits to serverless functions, including automatic scaling and pay-per-use pricing. They're often used in conjunction with serverless functions to create fully serverless applications.
