  "description": "This term refers to two distinct serverless computing platforms: Azure Functions (by Microsoft) and Cloudflare Workers (by Cloudflare). They are used by developers to run code without managing servers, though they differ in architecture, with Azure focusing on cloud-scale event processing and Cloudflare focusing on edge-side low latency.",
