Each serverless function can represent a single microservice or endpoint. Functions communicate via events or APIs, remaining loosely coupled. There’s no need to manage containers or orchestrators manually. Scaling and fault tolerance are built-in. This dramatically reduces operational complexity while preserving microservice benefits.
Serverless makes microservices easier to implement and maintain. Teams manage logic, not infrastructure.
This simplicity accelerates adoption of distributed architectures across organizations.
Serverless functions naturally map to microservices designs.
