Serverless computing platforms provide on-demand execution environments and lightweight runtimes, such as edge workers, that execute code without requiring manual infrastructure management. Software developers and engineering teams use them to build scalable APIs, event-driven microservices, and background tasks with minimal operational overhead. Unlike traditional cloud hosting or full container orchestration suites, these platforms automatically scale to zero and focus on execution-based compute rather than persistent server allocation.
