You may be using serverless functions like AWS Lambda , Azure Functions , or Google Cloud Functions, or a container management service, such as Kubernetes. Another aspect of microservices is how the service itself relates to the underlying hardware. The components of partitioned applications generally communicate over a network call.

FaaS enables developers to create and run a single function in the cloud using a serverless compute model. Cloud providers then manage physical hardware, virtual machines, and web server software management. Function as a service is a cloud computing model that runs code in small modular pieces, or microservices.
