  The serverless computing ecosystem is growing due to interest by software
engineers. Beside Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) and Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS)
systems, developer-oriented tools such as deployment and debugging frameworks
as well as cloud function repositories enable the rapid creation of wholly or
partially serverless applications. This study presents first insights into how
cloud functions (Lambda functions) and composite serverless applications
offered through the AWS Serverless Application Repository have evolved over the
course of one year. Specifically, it outlines information on cloud function and
function-based application offering models and descriptions, high-level
implementation statistics, and evolution including change patterns over time.
Several results are presented in live paper style, offering hyperlinks to
continuously updated figures to follow the evolution after publication date.
