Hah, I agree with your resentment about the recent wave of "serverless" :) By now redis has been replaced with native IPFS pubsub, which is provided by both go-ipfs and js-ipfs. The only remaining server-ish is some means of bootstrapping, i.e. entering the network. I'm not sure how up-to-date the readme is, but the demo (orbit.libp2p.io) is out-of-date and still uses redis pubsub. I pinged @haadcode, who can go more into detail.
