The Serverless Compute Manifesto

While watching the Building Complex Serverless Applications talk from re:Invent 2016 I discovered The Serverless Compute Manifesto. I couldn't find it reproduced in an easy to use format, so here it is for future reference - yours and mine:

• Function are the unit of deployment and scaling.
• No machines, VMs, or containers visible in the programming model.
• Permanent storage lives elsewhere.
• Scales per request; Users cannot over- or under-provision capacity.
• Never pay for idle (no cold servers/containers or their costs).
• Implicitly fault-tolerant because functions can run anywhere.
• BYOC - Bring Your Own Code.
• Metrics and logging are a universal right.

I'm not sure who came up with it originally, but that talk was by David Potes and Ajay Nair from AWS.
