Well, to start, serverless, or serverless computing , doesn’t really mean there aren’t servers involved, because there are, rather it refers to the fact that the responsibility of having to manage, scale, provision, maintain, etc., Applications that are running continuously on a dedicated server aren’t as impacted by latency issues.

The simple answer is to just spin up more servers. More servers means more capacity. Spinning up more servers just won’t cut it.

Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Latency can be roughly defined as the time it takes to send a packet from point A (say, the client) to point B (the server). Two-way latency is often called round-trip time (RTT).

This metric is important, but quite vague because it can include anything — starting from server rendering time and ending up with latency problems. This saves clients traffic — sometimes traffic which the client is paying for.
