**[Serverless](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/160142/describe-the-concept-of-automatic-scaling-in-serverless-platforms-and-its-significance) [architecture](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/249193/top-5-reasons-to-pursue-architecture)** is a new category of cloud-based applications that enables developers to create applications and deploy them on the cloud to be run and executed without the need to worry about the infrastructure that supports them. As far as Heroku specifics go, one can hardly mention any actual missteps because choosing to not have to worry about servers, scale, or upkeep, all that is left to concentrate on is code. They let the cloud provider manage the server, organize resources, allocate them, and decide how much capacity is required.

In serverless cases, you’re usually billed by the amount of time you’re running code, which makes the model affordable for many use cases. Some of the most common adopters of serverless are Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) providers, comprising AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, and Azure Functions.

Assuming you’re thinking of implementing serverless on your applications, then this [article](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/43769/what-is-serverless-architecture-is-it-worth-switching-over) goes deeper into the pros, cons, and dynamics of transitioning to the serverless model
