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.
