Serverless

A cloud computing model where your code runs in response to events without you managing or provisioning servers. You pay only for execution time, not idle capacity.

Serverless functions (like Vercel Edge Functions or AWS Lambda) let you run backend logic without maintaining a server. Perfect for founders who want scalability without infrastructure headaches.

A founder's app processes image uploads via a serverless function. It runs only when triggered, costs fractions of a penny per invocation, and scales to millions of requests automatically.
