However, serverless applications have unique characteristics that make observability more difficult than in traditional server-based applications. These functions are executed by a serverless platform or provider (such as AWS Lambda, Azure Functions or Google Cloud Functions) that manages the underlying infrastructure, scaling and billing.

Today, I am happy to announce our plans to open a new AWS Region in Italy! The AWS Europe (Milan) Region is the 25th AWS Region that we've announced globally. It's the sixth AWS Region in Europe, joining existing regions in France, Germany, Ireland, the UK, and the new Region that we recently announced in Sweden.

Despite the name, serverless computing still uses servers. This means companies can access the exact resources they need whenever they need them, rather than paying for server space and computing power they only need occasionally. If servers reach maximum load and capacity in-house, something has to give before adding new services.

When AWS launched, it changed how developers thought about IT services: What used to take weeks or months of purchasing and provisioning turned into minutes with Amazon EC2.
