Serverless computing is a cloud computing execution model where the cloud provider dynamically manages the allocation and provisioning of servers. Developers write and deploy code without worrying about underlying infrastructure. The cloud provider automatically scales resources based on demand and charges only for actual usage. Serverless functions (like AWS Lambda, Azure Functions) run in response to events and automatically scale from zero to thousands of concurrent executions. This model eliminates server management overhead and allows developers to focus on business logic.
