You do not buy the land, lay the water mains, or build the shed. You rent a plot, turn the tap on when you need water, and pay only for what you use. When the season ends, you hand the plot back. The cloud is that allotment for computing: you rent compute and storage by the second from a provider’s data centres instead of buying and running your own servers.https://ai-solutions.wiki/learn/gardener/02-serverless/Sun, 14 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://ai-solutions.wiki/learn/gardener/02-serverless/A sprinkler that runs all day wastes water and money. Drip irrigation is smarter: a sensor notices a plant is dry, the water switches on for that plant, and then it stops. Serverless computing works the same way. Your code sits dormant, an event wakes it (a file arrives, a request comes in), it runs for a few seconds to do one job, and then it goes back to sleep. You pay only for the seconds it ran.https://ai-solutions.wiki/learn/gardener/03-orchestration/Sun, 14 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://ai-solutions.wiki/learn/gardener/03-orchestration/Imagine a potting line in a nursery: a seed is sown, watered, labelled, moved to a bigger pot, and set out, each step in order, each handing off to the next. If the line jams, you can see exactly which station stopped. Orchestration is that line for software. It is the layer that decides which step runs, in what order, what happens in parallel, and what to do when a step fails.
