In the video, I discussed serverless computing, clarifying that it doesn't mean no servers are involved. I highlighted the caution needed when adopting it and explained its purpose. Real-world use cases were explored, such as cost efficiency, scalability, and automation benefits. The shift from traditional server provisioning to on-demand scaling was emphasized. Serverless offerings from major cloud providers and the advantages of focusing on core business logic were covered. Examples included chatbots, online judges, vending machines, and cron jobs, showcasing the versatility and cost-effectiveness of serverless architecture.
