Integration with the cloud provider

Existing serverless frameworks are closely integrated with other services offered by the same public cloud vendor. They make it easy to trigger the functions based on events in other cloud services and store the outputs in cloud data stores. They are hosted on the same infrastructure, which makes for minimal latency. As such, serverless functions are ideal for augmentation of other cloud services with bits of custom code performing tasks that aren't offered as a fully managed service.
