- A cloud computing execution model in which the cloud provider runs the server, and allocates machine resources on demand. Serverless computing does not hold resources in volatile memory; computing is rather done in short bursts with the results persisted to storage. When an app is not in use, there are no computing resources allocated to the app. “Serverless” is a misnomer in the sense that servers are still used by cloud service providers to execute code for developers. ← Wikipedia
