The document discusses the rise of serverless computing and its benefits. It describes how AWS pioneered serverless computing with AWS Lambda and has since expanded its serverless offerings. The serverless model provides easy scaling, high availability, and developers can focus on writing code without worrying about infrastructure management. Containers are also discussed as working with serverless computing.
