Also written as Cloud Functions

A way of running backend code without managing servers yourself — the cloud provider automatically runs your code in response to events and scales it.

Think of it like

Like renting a commercial kitchen by the hour instead of leasing and staffing your own restaurant year-round — you only pay when you're actually cooking.

Junior or senior?

Junior sounds like

Says serverless means 'no servers to manage' and stops there.

Senior sounds like

Can discuss cold starts and name a workload they deliberately did NOT run serverless.

Ask them

“What's a workload you decided NOT to run serverless, and why?”
