Overview of tutorials
In the serverless world, Function-as-a-Service allows to write small pieces of code that do something

A sleeping function doesn’t cause cost
And there are other advantages
And there are other blogs describing those advantages better (see below)

Thanks Carlos for the wonderful series of blogs on serverless runtime. Could you please let me know if they are now available in SCP CF trial account. Earlier I worked on Function as a service beta in SCP trial.
Hello AMIT GUPTA , thanks so much for your feedback!
I'm afraid it will still take quite some time until it will be available ion Trial...
Please bear with me...
Kind Regards, Carlos
Hi Carlos Roggan any updates on when this will be available in the CF trial account?
Thanks,

Hi Carlos,
Could you provide an example on how we can call a XSUAA protected function from a UI application that uses the approuter? What I'm looking for in particular is how we can apply the concept of "Integrate Business Services" to Serverless Runtime in the app router.
Best regards,
Pieter
