What is FaaS?
Function as a Service (FaaS) is a cloud computing service that allows developers to execute code in response to events without managing the underlying infrastructure. Developers write and deploy individual functions, which are automatically scaled and executed by the FaaS platform. It's commonly used for event-driven applications, microservices, and backend processing tasks.
