Next up from Thoughtworks "Computerless Computing Systems", and soon after that a fresh paper is being released "Software Without Code".
- rajington 10y agoI am annoyed by that term too, but "serverless" is what everyone is calling it right now so to get the right readers he had to call it that. He immediately follows a popular recommendation to switch to FaaS (Functions as a Service) and does so for the rest of the article.
- mikebroberts 10y agoThanks - yes the 'serverless' name isn't great, especially without the clarification of 'server-application-less', which was one of the drivers to me writing the article. I'm not in love with FaaS as a name (yet another AAS), but it's certainly more descriptive than serverless.
