Function as a Service (FaaS) allows developers to run individual functions in the cloud without managing servers or infrastructure. These event-driven functions scale automatically and execute only when triggered, reducing cost and complexity. Popular FaaS platforms include AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, and Azure Functions. FaaS simplifies backend development, supports microservices architecture, and is ideal for automation, APIs, and real-time processing.
