The Serverless Revolution for Everyone
FaaS (functions as a service) is a paradigm shift in cloud – we've moved from real servers (physical, data centers) to fake servers (virtualization, containers, etc.) to uploading code and allowing a provider to run it in response to events. Something is quite different there. It is, of course, not possible without the previous innovations and strides, but a shift nonetheless.
Powering BBC Online with nanoservices
We’ve created a simple internal platform that allows nanoservices to be uploaded, as code. It then allows a nanoservice to be executed on demand, via a RESTful API. There are no containers or servers dedicated to each nanoservice; instead, they all run on a shared platform. Which for us is a set of auto-scaling cloud instances.

Static Site with Hugo and Firebase
While the content can be published to Firebase using its excellent CLI, a better approach is to have it fully automated. For doing this, first I set up a private repository on GitLab and make it as the remote origin for my local working repository.

Need to store some data?
You can use things like localStorage or indexedDB to store data. But that data is only for the one person looking at your creation, it's not data stored in some permanent database that persists across time and sessions and all that. Need that? There are plenty of options. Also see options for getting/setting JSON data.
