Key Terms

Serverless
A cloud computing model where the cloud provider manages the server infrastructure.

Example: AWS Lambda is a popular serverless platform.

Function as a Service (FaaS)
A serverless execution model where code is run in response to events.

Example: Google Cloud Functions allows you to run code in response to HTTP requests.

Event-Driven Architecture
A software architecture pattern that uses events to trigger actions.

Example: An online store that processes orders when a payment event occurs.

Microservices
An architectural style that structures an application as a collection of loosely coupled services.

Example: A shopping application where payment and inventory are separate microservices.

API Gateway
A server that acts as an entry point for API requests, managing traffic and routing.

Example: Amazon API Gateway helps create and manage APIs for serverless applications.

Cold Start
The latency that occurs when a serverless function is invoked for the first time.

Example: A function that hasn't been called recently may take longer to respond due to cold start.
