Serverless is a cloud execution model where developers run code without managing servers or infrastructure. The cloud provider handles provisioning, scaling, and maintenance. Also known as Function-as-a-Service (FaaS), serverless focuses on simplicity and scalability.
Managing servers adds operational overhead. Serverless reduces complexity, improves scalability, and enables faster development—especially for event-driven and bursty workloads.
Developers deploy functions triggered by events such as HTTP requests or messages. The cloud platform automatically provisions resources, executes the code, and scales based on demand.
BuildPiper supports serverless workflows by integrating deployment, governance, and observability for serverless components alongside Kubernetes and microservices – providing a unified delivery experience.
No. Serverless can power large, production systems when designed appropriately.
No. While infrastructure is abstracted, monitoring, security, and governance are still required.
BuildPiper brings consistent release management, governance, and observability to serverless workloads as part of broader platform operations.
