The document discusses software productivity and how serverless computing can help improve developer productivity. It notes that while technology has enabled innovations that should improve productivity, like the internet and outsourcing, productivity has not increased as much as expected. This may be due to complex abstractions and underutilized data. Serverless aims to abstract away infrastructure from application development as much as possible. It lists 9 ways serverless can help boost productivity such as removing scaling concerns, enabling experimentation, making technology scale with products, and enabling low-code development.
