What is FaaS? Function as a Service explained

What's this blog post about?

Serverless computing allows developers to build and run applications without managing cloud infrastructure. Function as a Service (FaaS) is a subset of serverless computing that focuses on event-driven triggers where code runs in response to events or requests. FaaS offers the most abstraction for the user and the most specific functionality, allowing developers to focus solely on coding and development for their application while saving costs and enabling auto-scalability without capacity planning or ongoing maintenance. However, it is best suited for simple and repetitive functions with low volumes of requests.
