Enterprise and startups are moving to cloud-based infrastructure to create an API-enabled value chain for new products and workflows. With this has emerged the idea of serverless infrastructure: running functions and applications completely in cloud-based servers where the hosting provider handles all of the sysadmin requirements.

This is a new frontier in how business is leveraging cloud, and it is set to explode, especially amongst system integrators and consultants, as more data from sensors and machines are incorporated and as traditional businesses move even more of their IT infrastructure to the cloud.
