When building applications, we typically need to write the application code, manage the server infrastructure, and ensure scalability. But what if we could focus solely on the code without worrying about the underlying infrastructure? This is where serverless computing comes into play. Serverless computing is where the cloud provider dynamically manages the allocation of machine resources. Serverless doesn't mean there are no servers. Instead, you focus on writing code while the cloud provider takes care of the infrastructure. This includes automatically scaling and managing resources as needed.
