How do data workloads get processed in a so-called serverless IT system? Trust us; they do. Of course, serverless–otherwise known as FaaS (function as a service)–doesn’t mean there isn’t a server doing the heavy lifting; it’s about the user not seeing or maintaining the server and not caring where in the world it’s located.
