In cloud computing, users are responsible for managing and provisioning resources.
In serverless computing, the cloud provider handles resource allocation, allowing developers to focus solely on writing code.
Cloud computing often involves paying for pre-allocated resources, regardless of whether they are actively used.
Serverless computing is billed based on the actual execution of functions, making it more cost-effective for sporadically used workloads.
Cloud computing provides manual or automated scalability, but users need to manage the scaling process.
Serverless computing automatically scales based on demand, handling scaling transparently to the developer.
Cloud computing is suitable for a wide range of applications, from hosting websites to running databases.
Serverless computing is well-suited for event-driven, short-lived tasks, such as microservices, data processing, and real-time file processing.
