NexQloud Knowledge Base

Serverless architecture is inherently event-driven. Instead of deploying a continuously running application, you deploy pieces of code (functions) or containers that lie dormant until triggered by a specific event.

The workflow is straightforward:

1. Event Trigger: An event occurs, such as an HTTP request, a file upload to cloud storage, a new message in a queue, or a scheduled time.‍
2. Automatic Execution: Nexqloud's platform instantly spins up the necessary runtime environment (executing your code in a secure, isolated container).‍
3. Task Completion: Your code runs, performs its task (e.g., processes an image, validates data, sends a notification), and returns a result.‍
4. Automatic Shutdown: The platform scales the resources back down to zero. You are not charged when your code is not running.
