Benny Bauer Python in The Serverless Era PyCon 2017

"Speaker: Benny Bauer
Serverless is the latest phase in the evolution of cloud development. Its building blocks are functions, a bunch of stateless “nano-services”, that can scale automatically and charged only when used. It enables teams to focus more on development while having fully managed servers. In this talk I'll cover the Serverless Architectures practices, use cases, tooling and the role python plays in it.

I'm still a little confused about this serverless thing. Does it mean you still need a server but there is no need to maintain yourself and some third party like AWS will maintain it for you? Or is it actually replacing web servers like Apache http?

Stone S AWS manages load balancing, scaling, etc for you. You just deploy the code and the rest is done from AWS-Side. So there are still servers but you don't have to worry about them.
