I was just reading an article about serverless computing and its future. So, in this article, this term called 'stateless' was mentioned. Can anyone explain this term 'stateless' as if to a guy who is not much into tech?

What I have tried:

I have seen some articles but what I understood was there will be no state stored in the server between any two requests. But this whole thing doesn't get into my brain.

You have the correct definition of stateless; what do you find unclear in it?

And that is exactly right: there is no state preserved between requests: a request is complete in itself and does not retain information for later processing.
For example: Stateless protocol - Wikipedia[^]
