Serverless is one of the hottest buzzwords in technology these days, and everyone wants to ride this bandwagon. Serverless brings a lot of advantages in overall computing, software development processes, infrastructure, and technical implementation. There is a lot going on in the industry: at one end of the spectrum is Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and at the other is serverless. In between are Platform as a Service (PaaS) and containers. I have met many developers and it seems to me that there exists some level of confusion among them about IaaS, PaaS, containers, and serverless computing. Also, there is much confusion about use cases, applicability, architecture, and implementation for the serverless paradigm. Serverless is a new paradigm that is changing not only technology but also culture and processes within organizations.

We will explore serverless by covering the following topics:

• Serverless
• Azure Functions
• Serverless events
• Azure Event Grid
