But one of the problems is that the services are always up and running. Here is where serverless can help to reduce costs, scaling down services when they are not used, helping to reduce additional costs compared with the traditional way of having services running all the time.

Ben Ellerby, in his Medium article called Why Serverless will enable the Edge Computing Revolution, mentions that Serverless enables us to build applications and services without thinking about the underlying servers. This refers to thinking more about the applications instead of managing infrastructure. In this way, serverless technologies and cloud services have been increasing in popularity...
