Introduction
FaaS platforms give developers a quick way to build cloud-native microservices by abstracting away the complexities of managing and scaling clusters of containers or virtual machines. In return for handing over management of lower-level infrastructure concerns to a FaaS provider, developers get a programming environment that lets them write microservices as small, simple functions in languages they already know like Java, C#, JavaScript, or Python. The FaaS provider then automatically scales these microservices up (and down) as demand for the services dictates.
