In the context of FaaS, what is primarily defined in addition to functions?

In the context of Function as a Service (FaaS), trigger events are primarily defined in addition to the functions themselves. FaaS allows you to run individual functions in response to events, such as HTTP requests, file uploads, database changes, or messages in a queue. These trigger events initiate the execution of the serverless function, making them a core part of FaaS architecture.

Data storage is not directly defined by FaaS, as storage is typically managed separately (e.g., cloud storage or databases). Network configurations are not the main focus of FaaS, since cloud providers manage the underlying network infrastructure. User permissions may be relevant but are typically handled through identity and access management (IAM), not directly tied to the definition of a FaaS function.
