    %h2 Your own FaaS built-in to GitLab

    :markdown
      Functions-as-a-service (FaaS) allows you to write small, discrete units of code with event-based execution. Developers deploy code without worrying about the infrastructure it will run on. Code executes when it's needed so you don't use compute resources while your app is idle. GitLab Serverless allows you to run your own FaaS on any infrastructure without the vendor lock-in of traditional cloud function services.

    %h2 Deploy on any infrastructure

    :markdown
      Go multi-cloud With GitLab Serverless and deploy to any cloud or on-premises infrastructure. GitLab [connects to any Kubernetes cluster](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/clusters/index.html#adding-an-existing-kubernetes-cluster) so you can choose to run your Serverless workloads anywhere Kubernetes runs.

    %h2 Auto-scaling with scale to zero

    :markdown
      Leveraging [Knative Serving](https://github.com/knative/serving) your Kubernetes cluster automatically scales pods up and down based on load. "Scale to zero" stops consuming resources when there are no requests.
