Key attributes of a *serverless service*:
- [[A serverless service removes the need for managing servers]]
- [[A serverless service offers pay-per-use pricing]]
- [[A serverless service manages its own scaling hidden from the service consumer]]
- [[A serverless service requires no upfront capacity planning]]
These attributes are all stated as absolutes but in practice, a service's adherence may not always be binary but instead be on a sliding scale. So certain services can be more or less serverless than other services on a certain attribute.
