Automation is essential for successful DevOps teams, and CI/CD pipelines are a big part of that journey. At its most basic level, a pipeline gets code from point A to point B. What makes a better pipeline is how quickly and efficiently it accomplishes this task. A CI/CD pipeline automates steps in the SDLC like builds, tests, and deployments. When a team takes advantage of automated pipelines, they simplify the handoff process and decrease the chance of human error, creating faster iterations and better quality code.

The latter is where serverless comes in: serverless computing is an execution model in which the cloud provider acts as the server, dynamically managing the allocation of machine resources.
