One of the first things that intrigued me about serverless, and honestly it's not really that novel, is the ability to build proxies to other APIs. So for example, imagine a cool API that requires authentication of some sort to use, like an API key. If you use this in client-side JavaScript, anyone can look at your code and get your key. Better services let you lock a key to a domain, but if you don't have that option, then a simple use of serverless is to simply give you an endpoint that makes the call to the API with your key.
