Abstract: On account of the advantage of scale,cloud computing maximizes the value of computing.In recent years,serverless computing as a new paradigm of cloud computing,has emerged rapidly,and is profoundly reshaping the development,deployment,operation and maintenance of applications.Centered on application,serverless computing further refines the supply pattern of cloud service,simplifies the construction of cloud-based applications,effectively improves resource utilization.It represents a significant trend of cloud computing. Currently,serverless computing technologies are maturing and the related services are emerging.Function as a service(FaaS),edge function as a service(Edge FaaS),serverless container services and serverless application hosting services are typical serverless computing styles.Nowadays,serverless computing has already been well used in the fields,such as artificial intelligence,edge computing and big data analysis.Starting from the concept of serverless computing,this paper analyzes the value and development process of serverless computing,and dissects its core technologies and practical applications,explores its technological ecosystem and evolution trends.Finally,it gives development recommendations for serverless computing in our country.

Key words: Serverless, Cloud computing, Cloud native, FaaS, Container, Microservices
