Overview of Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

Introduction to FaaS (Function as a Service)

  • FaaS: Serverless computing paradigm

  • Benefits:

    • Automatic scaling
    • Reduced operational complexity
    • Cost optimization

  • Key FaaS platforms:

    • Cloud Functions (GCP)
    • AWS Lambda (Amazon Web Services)
    • Azure Functions (Microsoft Azure)
