Cloud computing is moving fast and continually progressing. Beyond the microservices architecture, a new paradigm appears to be evolving and complementing it. By using a serverless computing architecture, faster and more reliable developments are possible in several fields such as the Internet of Things, industrial or mobility applications. In this paper, a serverless computing architecture is described and, in addition, a comparison of the most important "Function as a Service" platforms is given.
