he shipping container revolutionised global trade in the 1950s by standardising cargo transport. Today, a digital equivalent is transforming enterprise technology: serverless computing, which packages code into standardised units that run without dedicated infrastructure.
Despite the name, serverless computing doesn’ t eliminate servers – it abstracts them.
