While updating and preparing my “Serverless (Web/Microservice) Architectures” slides for upcoming conference talks, I stumbled upon the Serverless Compute Manifesto, which was introduced during 2016 at various conferences by AWS people. I didn’t find a unique source, but a dedicated Google search shows some interesting entries!

The full manifesto:

Serverless Compute Manifesto

• Functions are the unit of deployment and scaling.
• No machines, VMs, or containers visible in the programming model.
• Permanent storage lives elsewhere.
• Scales per request. Users cannot over- or under-provision capacity.
• Never pay for idle (no cold servers/containers or their costs).
• Implicitly fault-tolerant because functions can run anywhere.
• BYOC - Bring Your Own Code.
• Metrics and logging are a universal right.
