 # {{serverless-full}}
 
 {{serverless-full}} is a fully managed solution that allows you to deploy and use Elastic for your use cases without managing the underlying infrastructure. It represents a shift in how you interact with {{es}} - instead of managing clusters, nodes, data tiers, and scaling, you create **serverless projects** that are fully managed and automatically scaled by Elastic. This abstraction of infrastructure decisions allows you to focus solely on gaining value and insight from your data.
 
+## Serverless overview
+
 {{serverless-full}} automatically provisions, manages, and scales your {{es}} resources based on your actual usage. Unlike traditional deployments where you need to predict and provision resources in advance, serverless adapts to your workload in real-time, ensuring optimal performance while eliminating the need for manual capacity planning.
 
 Serverless projects use the core components of the {{stack}}, such as {{es}} and {{kib}}, and are based on an architecture that decouples compute and storage. Search and indexing operations are separated, which offers high flexibility for scaling your workloads while ensuring a high level of performance.

+## Quickstart
+
+Elastic provides three serverless solutions available on {{ecloud}}. Follow these guides to get started with your serverless project:
 
 * **[{{es-serverless}}](../../../solutions/search/serverless-elasticsearch-get-started.md)**: Build powerful applications and search experiences using a rich ecosystem of vector search capabilities, APIs, and libraries.
 * **[{{obs-serverless}}](../../../solutions/observability/get-started/create-an-observability-project.md)**: Monitor your own platforms and services using powerful machine learning and analytics tools with your logs, metrics, traces, and APM data.
 * **[{{sec-serverless}}](../../../solutions/security/get-started/create-security-project.md)**: Detect, investigate, and respond to threats with SIEM, endpoint protection, and AI-powered analytics capabilities.
