Let's talk about the elephant in the room; Serverless doesn't really mean that there are no Software or Hardware servers. Serverless is currently a hot topic in many modern architectural patterns. This has a huge impact on application architecture, however having said that, it's not necessarily a bad idea. Advantages.

Because microprocessors are so fast, computer architecture design has evolved towards adding various levels of caching between compute units and the main memory, in order to hide the latency of bringing the bits to the brains. As an illustrative example, let’s consider a toy instance of 16 hyperthreads.

Complementing the hardware is the software on the RAE and in the cloud, and bridging the software on both ends is a bi-directional control plane.
