'''Serverless computing''' is a cloud service category in which the customer can use different cloud capabilities types without the customer having to provision, deploy and manage either hardware or software resources, other than providing customer application code or providing customer data. Serverless computing represents a form of virtualized computing." according to [[International Organization for Standardization|ISO]]/IEC 22123-2. <ref name=":1">{{Cite journal |title=ISO/IEC 22123-2:2023 (E) - Information technology — Cloud computing — Part 2: Concepts |journal=International Standard |pages=25}}</ref> [[Function as a service|Function as a Service]] (FaaS) and serverless databases are examples of serverless computing. However, serverless computing is considered to be broader than these components. <ref name=":2" /> Sheen Brisals suggests that serverless technology should be viewed as an ecosystem that includes the cloud provider, FaaS, managed services, as well as tools, frameworks, engineers, stakeholders, and other interconnected elements. <ref name=":2">{{Cite book |last=Brisals |first=Sheen |title=Serverless Development on AWS: Building Enterprise-Scale Serverless Solutions |publisher=O'Reilly Media |isbn=978-1098141936}}</ref>
== Overview ==
''Serverless'' is a [[misnomer]] in the sense that servers are still used by cloud service providers to execute code for [[Developer (software)|developers]]. The definition of serverless computing has evolved over time, leading to varied interpretations. According to Ben Kehoe, serverless represents a spectrum rather than a rigid definition. Emphasis should shift from strict definitions and specific technologies to adopting a serverless mindset, focusing on leveraging serverless solutions to address business challenges. <ref>{{Cite book |title=Serverless as a Game Changer How to Get the Most Out of the Cloud |year=2023 |isbn=9780137392551}}</ref>
