+Functions as a service is a new paradigm in computing that enables simplicity, efficiency and scalability for both developers

 ### Benefits for developers
 
 The main benefits that most people refer to are on the developer side and they include:
 
-* No servers to manage (serverless) -- you just upload your code and the platform deals with the infrastructure

   24/7, functions only run when needed
