Consequently, FaaS platforms can implement a true pay-as-you-go billing approach, eliminating costs when functions are dormant, distinguishing it from other models like [Platform as a Service (PaaS)](/platform-as-a-service/), which require continuous resource availability. ## Problem it addresses -Traditionally, businesses have relied on maintaining on-premises data centers, necessitating substantial investment in hardware, software, and personnel. +Traditionally, businesses have relied on maintaining on-premises [data centers](/data-center/), necessitating substantial investment in hardware, software, and personnel. This setup demands resources to be scaled to peak demand, resulting in underutilized assets during downtime. Moreover, rapid business growth can overwhelm IT capabilities, leading to operational inefficiencies. In contrast, [Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)](/infrastructure-as-a-service/) models, while offering cloud-based solutions, still place the onus of scaling resources on the user, requiring payment for continuous server availability irrespective of actual usage.
