    OAuth is an open standard for authorization. It allows users to share their private resources (e.g.
    Security risks. One of the biggest risks with serverless computing is that it is relatively new and not mature. This means that there are still some security concerns with serverless computing, especially when it comes to authentication. With traditional cloud computing, you can use a variety of tools like Kerberos or OAuth to authenticate a user's identity and ensure they're who they say they are before giving access to sensitive data or resources. In the case of serverless computing, however, authentication becomes much more challenging because there's no central identity provider that controls all login requests throughout the entire stack. Hence, there's a chance that your cloud provider could be hacked and their data might get stolen — not something you'd have to worry about with your own hardware.

    There are even companies, like Metacall—which is fully open source and make it easy for developers to add serverless capabilities on top of existing application architectures (e.g.,Node.js, Python , Ruby, C#, and more).

  3. A serverless platform for building event-based microservices.
    Although many people still associate serverless computing with AWS Lambda, there are other services that also allow you to build applications without thinking about servers: Google Cloud Functions and Azure Functions both offer similar functionality.

    Serverless computing is a cloud computing paradigm in which the cloud provider fully manages the operating system, storage, and network infrastructure that runs the application. It differs from other forms of cloud computing in that it does not use virtual machines (VM), but instead uses containers or functions. Serverless computing is not a new concept; it's been around since before AWS Lambda was released. However, recently this technology has seen an increase in interest: according to Stack Overflow surveys, serverless technologies have risen to become one of their most popular developer tools today.
