Last week we saw the benefits of rethinking memory and pointer models at the hardware level when it came to object storage and compression ( Zippads ). The protections are hardware implemented and cannot be forged in software. And this all has to work for whole-system executions, not just the C-language portion of user processes.

Within this paradigm, it is possible to run entire architectures without touching a traditional virtual server, either locally or in the cloud. What is serverless computing?
