The Serverless Landscape

Welcome to the first chapter of Kubernetes for Serverless Applications. In this chapter, we are going to be looking at and discussing the following:

What do we mean by serverless and Functions as a Service?
What services are out there?
An example of Lambda by Amazon Web Services
An example of Azure Functions
Using the serverless toolkit
What problems can we solve using serverless and Functions as a Service?

I think it is important we start by addressing the elephant in the room, and that is the term serverless.
